Abstract
A one year retrospective study of 76 patients with peptic oesophageal stricture was performed. Analysis of results showed a significant age-related risk of developing peptic oesophageal stricture. Possible age-related risk factors are discussed. Pitfalls in diagnosis and management are highlighted and the role of H2 receptor antagonists, antacids and omeprazole are discussed.
