  		Fig. 2A. —35-year-old man with 10-year history of dysphagia. Upright left posterior oblique spot image from double-contrast esophagram shows stricture in upper thoracic esophagus with multiple ringlike constrictions in region of stricture (arrows). Proximal end of stricture is not well visualized because of incomplete esophageal distention at this level.

Single-contrast esophagram with greater distention than in A shows tapered stricture (black arrows) in upper thoracic esophagus with barium tablet (large white arrow) impacted at proximal end of stricture. Ringlike constrictions (small white arrows) are barely visible in region of stricture.
