Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS) or the Patterson-Brown-Kelly syndrome is a triad of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), dysphagia and oesophageal webs. Commonly seen in middle-aged Caucasian females in the 4th to 7th decade, it is rare in males. It is usually a diagnosis made solely on clinical suspicion as history and clinical examination findings are equivocal. We have described a 55-year-old lady who presented with complaints of dysphagia and IDA. With all her initial investigations pointing towards gastritis, pure suspicion lead us to the diagnosis with a barium swallow. She was managed successfully with medications and currently on regular follow up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
