'Peptic Esophageal Stricture In A Patient With Parkinson’s Disease'

Benign esophageal strictures are uncommon and their management remains challenging. Herein, we present a rare both functional and organic esophageal stricture in a patient with Parkinson’s disease and reflux esophagitis. The patient was diagnosed with severe complex stricture in the distal part of the esophagus, requiring surgical treatment. We performed subtotal esophageal resection and Ivor-Lewis gastroesophagoplasty. The successful management of antiparkinsonian drug therapy with adequate parenteral substitution in the early postoperative period is of great importance to avoid any further complications.
