Intramural Hematoma of Esophagus

چکیده
Intramural hematoma of the esophagus is the least common form of traumatic injuries of the esophagus. It can be spontaneous or secondary. The classic triad of presentation includes chest pain, dysphagia and hemetemesis. Most of cases are diagnosed by endoscopy, with various other modalities like barium swallow, CT scan or endo-ultrasound acting as complimentary investigative tools. The management is conservative in most cases. We report a 56-year-old woman with intramural hematoma of esophagus induced by retching.
