Spontaneous esophageal dissection is a rare disorder of the esophagus.
We present what is believed to be the first reported case of recurrent esophageal dissection in a previously healthy 33-year-old man with chronic eosinophilic esophagitis. He had two episodes of spontaneous dissection of the midesophagus separated by a 5-month interval. Both episodes responded to treatment with endoscopic intervention. He has remained free of additional recurrences after definitive endoscopic therapy and oral steroid therapy. A complete description of the case, relevant radiologic imaging, and a review of the relevant literature are provided.
Endoscopic therapy is an option for the management of recurrent esophageal dissection.
自发性食管夹层是一种罕见的食管疾病。
我们报告了一例据信是首例复发性食管夹层的病例，患者为一名33岁既往健康的男性，患有慢性嗜酸性粒细胞性食管炎。他发生了两次食管中段自发性夹层，间隔时间为5个月。两次发作均通过内镜干预治疗得到缓解。在确定性内镜治疗和口服类固醇治疗后，他未再出现复发。本文提供了该病例的完整描述、相关影像学检查以及相关文献综述。
