Overview
An x-ray (barium esophagogram) is the best initial imaging study in a patient suspected with Plummer-Vinson syndrome. Findings on an x-ray (barium esophagogram) suggestive of esophageal web/strictures associated with Plummer-Vinson syndrome appear as either thin projections on the anterior esophageal wall or multiple upper (cervical) esophageal constrictions consistent with esophageal webs.
X Ray
- An x-ray is the best initial test and can be helpful in the diagnosis of Plummer-Vinson syndrome.
- A barium esophagogram helps in determining the calibre of esophageal lumen.
- Findings on an x-ray (barium esophagogram) suggestive of esophageal web/strictures associated with Plummer-Vinson syndrome appear as either:[1][2]
- Thin projections on the anterior esophageal wall.
- Multiple upper (cervical) esophageal constrictions consistent with esophageal webs.
