Stricture. In some cases of esophageal erosion, inflammation may lead to swelling of the tissues lining the esophageal tube. This swelling can cause narrowing of the passageway, making it difficult to swallow foods and even saliva. The erosion of the esophagus may occur at any point along the tube.
Causes of peptic esophageal strictures are: 1  Gastroesophageal reflux-provoked esophagitis, originating in the 3-4 cm long squamo-columnar junction. 2  Dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) from decreased pressure in this zone of the esophagus may lead to the development of peptic strictures. A LES pressure of less than 8mm Hg contributes to GERD and the development of a peptic stricture.
