Plummer Vinson syndrome is characterised by dysphagia, iron deficiency, anaemia and oesophageal web or webs. This is a case report of a 33 year old Asian female who presented with slowly progressive dysphagia and a long history of iron deficiency anaemia. The anaemia was confirmed on repeated haemograms and a barium swallow revealed an upper oesophageal web. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and forceful dilatation were necessary to effect relief of dysphagia.
