Abstract
|
|
|
|
Plummer-Vinson syndrome manifests as cervical dysphagia, iron deficiency anemia, an upper esophageal web, and atrophic glossitis. The cause of the esophageal web is thought to be iron deficiency anemia; however, the cause of Plummer-Vinson syndrome has not been established. Crohn’s disease is usually accompanied by malnutrition and iron deficiency anemia; however, no case of concomitant Crohn’s disease and Plummer-Vinson syndrome with aggravated malnutrition and anemia has been previously reported. Here, we report on a rare case of Plummer-Vinson syndrome in a Crohn’s disease patient, which caused malnutrition and constipation.
