ABSTRACT
Stricture oesophagus is an unusal complication of thyroid surgery. There is only one case of such nature recorded in literature, which shows that the surgeon who operated may not have had any previous experience of head and neck surgery. Locating the stricture was difficult, more so planning the treatment modality was problematic. Informed consent for oesophagectomy with gastric pull through was taken. However when we explored the neck the stricture was seen just below the level of pyriform sinus. It could be successfully excised without end to end anastomosis.
