Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN), also known as black esophagus due to its appearance on endoscopy, classically involves the distal esophagus (97% of cases). AEN affecting the midesophagus with sparing of the distal esophagus is rare and usually occurs in patients with thoracic aortic aneurysmal (TAA) rupture or aortic dissection. Herein, we report a unique case of AEN in the midesophagus in a patient with an unruptured and undissected TAA.
急性食管坏死(AEN),因其在内镜检查中的表现也被称为黑色食管,典型地累及食管远端(97%的病例)。AEN累及食管中段而远端食管未受累的情况罕见,通常发生在胸主动脉瘤(TAA)破裂或主动脉夹层的患者中。在此,我们报告一例未破裂且未夹层的TAA患者发生食管中段AEN的独特病例。
