  • [Cause] is a life-threatening cause of [disease].

Common Causes

Esophageal stricture may be caused by:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease
  • Previous surgery on the esophagus, postsurgical resection for esophageal or laryngeal cancer
  • Surgical anastomosis
  • Radiation therapy for thoracic or head and neck tumors
  • Esophageal sclerotherapy
  • Swallowing a substance that harms the esophagus, such as household cleaners, lye, or disc-shaped batteries,  caustic ingestions
  • Treatment for esophageal varices (enlarged veins in the esophagus)
  • Cancer
  • An allergic condition called "eosinophilic esophagitis"

    • Potassium chloride
    • Quinidine preparations
    • Iron compounds
    • Emepronium
    • Aalprenolol
    • Pinaverium 
  • External compression of the esophagus due to mediastinal fibrosis induced by tuberculosis or idiopathic fibrosing mediastinitis
  • increased esophageal acid exposure (eg, systemic sclerosis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, nasogastric tube placement, and after Heller myotomy for achalasia)
