Abstract

Plummer-Vinson Syndrome appears predominantly in eld- erly women. It is characterized by iron deficiency, dispha- gia associated with upper esophagial webs and glossitis. Koilonychia, esophagitis, gastritis, hypothyroidsm and angular cheilitis may accompany to the syndrome. These patients have an increased risk for upper esophagial and postcricoid carcinomas. We presented a case report of a patient with Plummer-Vinson Syndrome with a review of literature. Disphagia, weakness and angular cheilitis were present in our case. Iron replacement treatment was succes- ful and in 6 month follow up the complaints of the patients were fully recovered.

Özet

Plummer-Vinson Sendromu özellikle orta yaşlı kadınlarda gözlenir. Disfaji, demir eksikliği anemisi ve glossit ile ortaya çıkar. Bu duruma koiloniþi, özofajit, gastrit, hipotiroidi ve ağız kenarında çatlaklar da eşlik edebilir. Hastaların büyük oranında özofagusta webler görülür. Bu hastalarda artmış üst özofagus ve postkrikoid kanser riski dikkati çekmektedir. Bu çalışmamızda kliniğimizde Plummer-Vinson Sendromu tanısı konan bir olgu sunuldu. Literatür gözden geçirilerek hastalığın özellikleri ve güncel tedavisi değerlendirildi. Olgumuzda yutma güçlüğü, halsizlik ve ağız kenarında çatlakların olması şikayeti mevcut idi. Demir replasman tedavisi hastamızda başarılı oldu ve 6 ay sonraki kontrolünde hastanın şikayetlerinde tamamen gerileme oldu.
