Causes
Life-threatening Causes
- Life-threatening causes of [symptom/manifestation] include [cause1], [cause2], and [cause3].
- [Cause] is a life-threatening cause of [disease].
Common Causes
Esophageal stricture may be caused by:
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease
- Previous surgery on the esophagus, postsurgical resection for esophageal or laryngeal cancer
- Surgical anastomosis
- Radiation therapy for thoracic or head and neck tumors[1]
- Esophageal sclerotherapy
- Swallowing a substance that harms the esophagus, such as household cleaners, lye, or disc-shaped batteries, caustic ingestions
- Treatment for esophageal varices (enlarged veins in the esophagus)
- Cancer
- An allergic condition called "eosinophilic esophagitis"
- Drug-induced stricture
- External compression of the esophagus due to mediastinal fibrosis induced by tuberculosis or idiopathic fibrosing mediastinitis
- Rare dermatologic diseases (eg, epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica)
- increased esophageal acid exposure (eg, systemic sclerosis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, nasogastric tube placement, and after Heller myotomy for achalasia)
OR
- [Disease name] is caused by an infection with [pathogen name].
- [Pathogen name] is caused by [pathogen name].
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of disease name include:
- Dyskeratosis congenita (DC)
- [Cause2]
- [Cause3]
Genetic Causes
- [Disease name] is caused by a mutation in the [gene name] gene.
