A member asked:
What is a web in esophagus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Web: A thin mucosal membrane protruding into the lumen of the esophagus. This "web" narrows the esophagus. Usually there are no symptoms, but if severe can cause partial obstruction of the esophagus resulting in regurgitation and difficulty swallowing.
