Abstract
Schatzki's lower esophageal rings appear as thin membranous structures which do not contain any muscularis propria; resulting in a constricting ring at the esophagogastric junction, they are mostly asymptomatic. However, patients present with symptoms of dysphagia to solids and liquids and a sense of impaction of food. Diagnosis can be easily overlooked and can be confirmed by endoscopic inspection of the esophagogastric junction. 3 cases of Schatzki ring diagnosed on oesophagal endoscopy and its management are presented.
