  • Title: Spontaneous intramural esophageal hematoma.
    Author: Thomasset SC, Berry DP.
    Journal: J Gastrointest Surg; 2005 Jan; 9(1):155-6. PubMed ID: 15623457.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of an 80-year-old woman who developed a spontaneous intramural esophageal hematoma and review the available literature. Spontaneous intramural esophageal hematoma (SIOH) is a rare but important condition. Because the cardinal symptom is severe chest pain, the condition is often initially misdiagnosed as an acute cardiac event or aortic dissection. Increased awareness of SIOH may prevent misdiagnosis on the basis of endoscopic and radiological appearances.
