Overview
Historical Perspective
Discovery
The historical perspective associated with Plummer-Vinson syndrome is as below:[1][2]
1543: Vesalius describes the anatomy of the esophagus. 1592: Fabricius Aquapendente employs wax tampers to remove foreign bodies from the esophagus.
1674: T. Willis uses whale bone to dilate the esophagus. 1764: Ludlow describes a pharyngesophageal diverticulum. 1806: Bozzini develops an early endoscope using a mirror and reflected light from a candle in an attempt to see the upper esophagus. 1843: Switzer invents the esophageal dilators. 1844: The first recorded operation of esophagotomy for the relief of esophageal stricture by John Watson an American surgeon. 1872: First excision of the esophagus in man, performed by Christian Albert Theodor Billroth, an Austrian surgeon. 1883: Esophageal motility in human beings is determined by H. Kronecker and S. Meltzer with pressure measurements of inserted balloons. 1954: L.R. Celestin develops an esophageal tube widely used for the relief of malignant dysphagia. 1982: D. Fleischer employs endoscopic laser therapy to palliate cases of esophageal carcinoma.
- In the year 1912, Henry Plummer an American internist, was the first to describe Plummer-Vinson syndrome in a case series of patients with long-standing iron deficiency anemia, dysphagia and spasm of the upper esophagus without anatomic stenosis in his article "Diffuse dilatation of the esophagus without anatomic stenosis"
- In the year 1919, Porter Paisley Vinson an American surgeon at the Mayo Clinic further described Plummer-Vinson syndrome in his article "A case of cardiospasm with dilatation and angulation of the esophagus." He reported a case of angulation of esophagus and attributed his findings to be consistent with the those described by Henry Plummer.
1913: Torek, using a transthoracic approach, is the first to successfully resect an esophageal carcinoma.
- In the year 1919, Donald Ross Paterson and Adam Brown Kelly, both British otolaryngologist described the characteristic clinical features of Plummer-Vinson syndrome in their article "A clinical type of dysphagia" and "Spasm at the entrance of the esophagus" respectively.
