    Abstract:
    The Plummer-Vinson Syndrome is characterized by the presence of dysphagia, iron deficiency anemia and esophageal webs. We report the clinical case of a 67 year-female who was admitted with aphagia, glositis and important sialorrea. After performing a digestive endoscopy we found a double membrane located on Killiam region (upper esophageal tract) and proceeded, under general anestesia, to neumatic dilatation. The patient followed periodic controls yearly by Digestive Department and Internal Medicine with a significant clinical improvement.
