Abstract
The lower esophageal mucosal ring, or Schatzki's ring, was first described by Templeton. Anatomically, it represents the lower end of the esophagus. Patients classically present with intermittent dysphagia to solids. Diagnosis is made by endoscopy or a barium esophagram. Gastroesophageal reflux disease has been suggested as an etiology. It can usually be treated by passing a large dilator. Further controlled studies are needed to study its cause.
