A ringed esophagus, also known as "esophageal rings" or "Schatzki rings," refers to the presence of circumferential narrowing in the esophagus, typically due to the formation of fibrous tissue or muscle contractions. This condition can lead to dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and may be associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Diagnosis is usually made through imaging studies or endoscopy, and treatment options may include dilation procedures or managing underlying causes.
