Overview

The Plummer-Vinson syndrome, also called Paterson-Brown-Kelly syndrome or sideropenic dysphagia is a disorder linked to severe, long-term iron deficiency anemia, which causes swallowing difficulty (dysphagia) due to web-like membranes of tissue growing in the throat (esophageal webs). [1] The disease is named after two Americans, the physician Henry Stanley Plummer, and the surgeon Porter Paisley Vinson. [2][3][4]

It is also sometimes called "Kelly-Paterson syndrome", after Adam Brown-Kelly and Donald Ross Paterson.[2][5][6]
