Overview

The hallmark of esophageal stricture is dysphagia . A positive history of heartburn is suggestive of esophageal stricture. The most common symptoms of esophageal stricture include dysphagia, odynophagia, and heartburn. Less common symptoms of esophageal stricture include chronic cough and wheezing.

History and Symptoms

The hallmark of esophageal stricture is dysphagia. Various history findings and symptoms associated with esophageal stricture are discussed bellow.

History

Patients with esophageal stricture due to different causes may have a positive history of:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Common Symptoms

Common symptoms of esophageal stricture include:[8][9][10]

  • Dysphagia [11]
    • Benign and malignant strictures can be differentiated based on duration of dysphagia
    • Long-standing, intermittent, nonprogressive dysphagia in benign strictures
    • Weight loss, rapidly progressive dysphagia in malignant stricture
    • Grades of dysphagia
Grade Manifestations
I Able to eat everything but with difficulty
II Dysphagia to solids
III Dysphagia to semi-solids
IV Dysphagia even to liquids
IV Absolute dysphagia


Less Common Symptoms

Less common symptoms of esophageal stricture can be related to aspiration pneumonia and include[8]
