Description
The mainstay treatment for benign esophageal stricture is dilation with medical therapy. Although dilation usually provides symptomatic relief, recurrent refractory strictures often occur. Here we describe the treatment of a patient with a diffuse esophageal stricture caused by severe acid exposure from frequent vomiting during treatment of a duodenal ulcer. Administration of a proton pump inhibitor without dilation relieved the diffuse stricture and completely restored esophageal motility in this patient.
