Plummer-Vinson syndrome is also termed Paterson-Brown-Kelly syndrome and sideropenic dysphagia, because it was described originally by Paterson and Kelly in 19`19 and it was often combined with iron-deficiency anemia. The syndrome is encountered most often in middle-aged anemic female. It is characterized by dysphagia referred to the upper esophagus, atrophy of the oral or pharyngeal mucous membranes, koilonychia, and stenosis or webs of the upper esophageal mucosa. And it is also related to the late occurrence of the carcinoma of the upper esophagus. Here is presented a case of upper esophageal web with dysphagia and iron-deficiency anemia with review of literature, which was treated by the surgical esophagoplasty to relieve the symptom of dysphagia and to widen the upper esophageal narrowing.
