Black esophagus is an uncommon entity that has been described only a few times previously. It is defined as a dark pigmentation of the esophagus associated with histologic mucosal necrosis. Most cases have no known etiology, although ischemia, nasogastric tube trauma, infection, gastric outlet obstruction, gastric volvulus, and hypersensitivity to antibiotics have all been suggested as possible causes. Herein we report the case of a young, healthy, athletic man who developed black esophagus due to severe vomiting after alcohol overindulgence and summarize the other published cases to date.
黑色食管是一种罕见的病症，此前仅有过几次相关描述。它被定义为与组织学上的黏膜坏死相关的食管色素沉着。尽管缺血、鼻胃管创伤、感染、胃出口梗阻、胃扭转以及对抗生素过敏都曾被认为是可能的病因，但大多数病例病因不明。在此，我们报告一例年轻、健康、爱运动的男性因酗酒过度后剧烈呕吐而患上黑色食管的病例，并总结了迄今为止其他已发表的病例。
