    • Esophageal webs are rare congenital or acquired anomalies.
    • Dysphagia is a common symptom associated with esophageal obstruction.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with severe dysphagia due to a middle esophageal web.
    • The esophageal web was identified as the cause of the patient's symptoms.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic options for esophageal webs.
    • Surgical resection of the esophageal ring via a transthoracic approach proved effective.

    Implications:
