Overview

Common causes of esophageal stricture include gastroesophageal reflux disease and caustic ingestions.

Causes

Life-threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of esophageal stricture, however complications resulting from untreated esophageal stricture is common.

Common Causes

Esophageal stricture may be caused by:^[1]

Gastroesophageal reflux disease^[2]
Caustic ingestions^[3]
Radiation therapy for thoracic or head and neck tumors^[4]
Esophageal cancer
Congenital causes such as rings and webs^[5]

Less Common Causes

Less common causes of esophageal stricture include:

Esophageal sclerotherapy^[6]
Eosinophilic esophagitis^[7]
Lymphocyric esophagitis

Dyskeratosis congenita (DC)^[8]
Rare dermatologic diseases (eg, epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica)^[9]
Mediastinal fibrosis due to tuberclosis or idiopathic fibrosing mediastinitis^[10]
Drug-induced stricture:^[11]
- Aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications^[12]
- Tetracycline
- Doxycycline
- Clindamycin
- Bisphosphonates
- Potassium chloride
- Quinidine preparations
- Iron compounds
- Emepronium
- Alprenolol
- Pinaverium

Infectious esophagitis^[13]

Tracheoesophageal fistula repair and esophageal stricture at the anastomosis^[14]
Esophageal diverticula^[15]
Increased level of gastric acid exposure to esophageal tissue, for example:
- Systemic sclerosis^[16]
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome^[17]
- Nasogastric tube placement^[17]
- Heller myotomy for achalasia^[18]
