Esophageal stricture is a pathologic narrowing of the lumen that may becomes the main cause of swallowing difficulties and usually develops after trauma, ingestion of caustic substances, exposure to certain drugs, gastro esophageal reflux, or tumor invasion [1,2]
Initial diagnosis based on clinical signs may be delayed because of other more frequent causes of dysphagia, including idiopathic dorsal displacement of the soft palate or nasal reflux of milk, cleft palate, or pharyngeal cysts [3]

Summary
Esophageal stricture is a pathologic narrowing of the lumen that may becomes the main cause of swallowing difficulties and usually develops after trauma (eg, foreign body), ingestion of caustic substances, exposure to certain drugs, gastro esophageal reflux, or tumor invasion [1,2].
