We report a 49 year old man who presented with left leg weakness, frontal headache, impaired concentration and dysphagia. He was thought to have a benign oesophageal stricture on barium swallow and oesophagoscopy though this was not initially biopsied. During admission his vision deteriorated so that he could only recognize bright light. Repeat oesophagoscopy demonstrated an oesophageal adenoca...
