Plain-English summary
A dog was brought to the vet after experiencing regurgitation for three days. X-rays showed a blockage in the esophagus caused by a ring-like structure, which was narrowing the area where the esophagus meets the stomach. An endoscopy confirmed the presence of this lower esophageal ring and a foreign object stuck in the dog's throat. The vet was able to remove the foreign body, and the dog recovered well after treatment.

Abstract
A dog was presented because of regurgitation over a 3-day period. Radiographic examination revealed a bean-shaped filling defect and an annular narrowing at the level of the gastroesophageal sphincter. The contractile ring-like structure was sharply demarcated, and its appearance varied according to gastroesophageal distension. Endoscopic findings revealed lower esophageal ring and foreign body impaction.
