Figure 19.  Glutaraldehyde-induced stricture in a patient who developed dysphagia several months after undergoing endoscopy. Double-contrast esophagogram shows a long stricture that involves the middle and distal esophagus (arrows). There were no other predisposing factors for the development of this stricture, which was presumed to be caused by toxicity from residual glutaraldehyde at endoscopy.
