Paterson-kelly Syndrome in Adolescence: a Report of Five Cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dysphagia in the post-cricoid region is usually found in middle-aged women and may be associated with anaemia (Jacobs and Kilpatrick, 1964). Patients with this condition sometimes have a post-cricoid web which can be seen radiologically. Although cases may occasionally be seen in women below the age of 30, no cases occurring during adolescence have been reported before in the literature. The present report describes the cases of three boys and two girls aged 14 to 19 years in whom post-cricoid webs were found. All these patients suffered from iron-deficiency anaemia.
