PLUMMER-VINSON syndrome.

Introduction Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS) is a triad of microcytic hypochromic anaemia (iron deficiency), atrophic glossitis, and oesophageal webs or strictures [1] . A description of this syndrome was published by Henry Plummer in Chicago in 1911 and also by Porter Vinson in Philadelphia in 1919. Donald Ross Paterson and Adam Brown Kelly published independently of each other in London in 1919 [2] . Epidemiology PVS most often affects middle-aged women (this may be related to a propensity for iron deficiency), although it can occasionally present in a child [3] . The web (containing mucosa and submucosa) occurs at the anterior post-cricoid area of the upper oesophagus [4] .
