RESUMO
We report a case of Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS) and lower esophageal ring with a small sliding hiatal hernia. PVS is a rare entity formed by the combination of dysphagia, cervical esophageal web and iron deficiency anemia. It occurs mainly in middle-aged women1,2,3. A lower esophageal ring and a small sliding hiatal hernia were also observed in this case. We documented clinical manifestations of iron deficiency anemia through images and esophageal abnormalities through barium esophagogram. (AU)
