OR
Common causes of [disease] include [cause1], [cause2], and [cause3].

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:
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease[1]
- Eosinophilic esophagitis[2]
- Previous surgery on the esophagus
- Surgical anastomosis
- Radiation therapy for thoracic or head and neck tumors[3]
- Esophageal sclerotherapy
- Caustic ingestions[4]
- Treatment for esophageal varices
- Esophageal cancer
- Drug-induced stricture:
- Aspirin and anti-inflammatory agents[5]
- Tetracycline
- Doxycycline
- Clindamycin
- Bisphosphonates
- Potassium chloride
- Quinidine preparations
- Iron compounds
- Emepronium
- Alprenolol
- Pinaverium
- Mediastinal fibrosis due to tuberclosis or idiopathic fibrosing mediastinitis
- May lead to esophageal compression and stricture
- Increased level of gastric acid exposure to esophageal tissue, for example:
- Esophageal diverticula
- Hiatal hernia
- Tracheoesophageal fistula
- Infectious esophagitis
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of esophageal stricture include:
- Dyskeratosis congenita (DC)
- Rare dermatologic diseases (eg, epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica)[7]
Genetic Causes
- [Disease name] is caused by a mutation in the [gene name] gene.
