title: [Dilation of stenoses of the oral part of the esophagus in the Kelly-Paterson syndrome (Plummer-Vinson)].
abstract: The dilatation of oesophagus oral portion in the Kelly-Paterson (Plummer Vinson) syndrome was made in two female patients at the age of 58 and 81 years. For the extreme stenosis (2 and 3 mm) of the lumen the dilatation was first performed by the Grüntzig Catheter and after extension above 5 mm special oesophageal catheters with a balloon of 15 mm diameter (Cook) were used. The dilatation proved successful in both patients. The dilatation in the K.-P. syndrome must be performed with care beginning with catheters of small diameter and narrow end with a step-wise slow filling of the balloon. A good anesthesia of upper respiratory pathways and swallowing passages is required.
