“…Upper or midesophageal strictures may occasionally be encountered in patients with skin diseases such as epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica, benign mucous membrane pemphigoid, and erythema multiforme major (33)(34)(35)(36). Esophageal involvement by epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica and benign mucous membrane pemphigoid is characterized by bullae, ulcers, and, eventually, stricture formation.…”

Benign esophageal strictures are a leading cause of dysphagia. Therefore, radiologists have an important role in detecting esophageal strictures and determining their cause. The most common cause of strictures in the distal esophagus is gastroesophageal reflux disease. Reflux-induced ("peptic") strictures may be associated with sacculations, fixed transverse folds, or esophageal intramural pseudodiverticula. In addition, scleroderma, nasogastric intubation, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and alkaline reflux esophagitis may be associated with stricture formation in the distal esophagus. Upper and midesophageal strictures may be caused by Barrett esophagus, mediastinal irradiation, ingestion of drugs or caustic substances, congenital esophageal stenosis, skin diseases, or esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis. Other unusual causes of esophageal stricture formation include Crohn disease, Candida esophagitis, graft-versus-host disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, Behçet disease, endoscopic sclerotherapy for esophageal varices, and glutaraldehyde contamination at endoscopy. Esophageal strictures are best evaluated with biphasic esophagography that includes both single- and double-contrast spot images. When esophageal strictures are detected at barium examination, the underlying cause can often be determined with a pattern approach that takes into account the clinical history, the appearance and location of the strictures, and the presence of other associated radiographic findings.
