Plummer-Vinson syndrome: a report of three cases.
Plummer-Vinson syndrome is characterised by dysphagia, anaemia, glossitis and oesophageal web. We report our findings in three patients with membranes in the upper oesophagus. All patients underwent endoscopic dilatation and iron replacement therapy, with good results. We review the literature of this syndrome.
