Session 2 Video Case Discussion 3 - Esophageal Stricture

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a case of an 84-year-old patient with diabetes who has been experiencing dysphagia due to esophageal strictures. Despite multiple endoscopies and dilations, the patient hasn't found relief and is referred for further management. The video shows an example of a similar stricture in a different patient. The panel of experts explores the characteristics of the stricture and eventually identifies it as lichen planus based on its appearance and other factors. The video emphasizes the importance of addressing simple and complex strictures differently and controlling inflammation to achieve successful dilation. Topical steroids are used in this case to manage inflammation.
