While well described in adults, paediatric cases remain exceptionally rare, particularly in sub\u2010Saharan Africa. We report a 10\u2010year\u2010old boy from C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, presenting with progressive dysphagia of 3 years' duration and severe iron\u2010deficiency anaemia (haemoglobin 6.0\u2009g\/dL) with neither haemoglobinopathy nor ova or parasites. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy demonstrated a semi\u2010circumferential post\u2010cricoid oesophageal web; with normal surrounding mucosa and histology. Endoscopic balloon dilation combined with weight\u2010based oral iron supplementation co\u2010administered with ascorbic acid resulted in complete clinical and haematological recovery, sustained at 1\u2010year follow\u2010up. This case underscores the importance of recognising iron\u2010deficiency anaemia associated with dysphagia in children. Combined endoscopic dilation and appropriately dosed iron supplementation with ascorbic acid are effective. Increased awareness and access to endoscopic evaluation are essential to ensure timely diagnosis and effective management in low\u2010resource African settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jpr3.70227","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]],"date-time":"2026-08-03T07:25:50Z","timestamp":1785741950000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Plummer\u2013Vinson syndrome in a 10\u2010year\u2010old boy from C\u00f4te d'Ivoire: An exceptional paediatric case with African context"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-8740-5194","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul Mike","family":"Tayou Mbobda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medecin Loum District Hospital  Loum Cameroon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hatrydt Guillaume Dimitri","family":"Kouam\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Service d'H\u00e9pato\u2010Gastro\u2010Ent\u00e9rologie, CHU de Yopougon  Abidjan C\u00f4te d'Ivoire"},{"name":"Facult\u00e9 de M\u00e9decine, D\u00e9partement des Maladies de l'Appareil Digestif Universit\u00e9 F\u00e9lix Houphou\u00ebt\u2010Boigny  Abidjan C\u00f4te d'Ivoire"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amadou","family":"Ouattara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 de M\u00e9decine, D\u00e9partement des Maladies de l'Appareil Digestif Universit\u00e9 F\u00e9lix Houphou\u00ebt\u2010Boigny  Abidjan C\u00f4te d'Ivoire"},{"name":"Service d'H\u00e9pato\u2010Gastro\u2010Ent\u00e9rologie, CHU de Cocody  Abidjan C\u00f4te d'Ivoire"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5530\/ijcep.2023.10.1.7"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","first-page":"384","article-title":"Plummer\u2013Vinson syndrome in a 15\u2010year\u2010old boy","volume":"51","author":"Dinler G","year":"2009","journal-title":"Turk J Pediatr"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(00)70020-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12887-024-04750-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MPG.0000000000000842"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1750-1172-1-36"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0009922809347554"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-198809000-00014"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100144263"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PG9.0000000000000375"}],"container-title":["JPGN Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/jpr3.70227","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/jpr3.70227","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/jpr3.70227","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]],"date-time":"2026-08-03T07:25:51Z","timestamp":1785741951000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/jpr3.70227"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]]},"references-count":10,"alternative-id":["10.1002\/jpr3.70227"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/jpr3.70227","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2691-171X","2691-171X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2691-171X","type":"print"},{"value":"2691-171X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2026-01-09","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-07-14","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-08-03","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"jpr3.70227"}}
