Overview

If left untreated, patients with esophageal stricture may progress to develop pulmonary aspiration, weight loss, and dehydration. Common complications of esophageal stricture include perforation, bleeding, pneumonia, bacteremia. Prognosis is generally good but recurrence of symptoms after dilation are prevalent and usually recurrent dilation is necessary.
