Other Diagnostic Studies
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) may be done in patients with suspected Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS).
- An esophagogastroduodenoscopy can directly visualize the upper gastrointestinal tract and aid in diagnosing esophageal web.
- The anterior esophageal wall is the most common location for an esophageal web associated with Plummer-Vinson syndrome.
- On EGD, esophageal web may appear as a thin elevated mucosal membrane covered by normal squamous epithelium.
- An EGD may also help in identifying an inlet patch (hypertrophic gastric inlet patch).
- EGD with biopsy can also be used to determine the exact histology associated with esophageal web.
