Acute phlegmonous esophagitis is a very rare, life-threatening form of esophagitis, characterized by diffuse bacterial infection and pus formation within the submucosal and muscularis layers of the esophagus. We describe a case in which contrast-enhanced chest CT was useful for evaluating the severity of phlegmonous esophagitis, which was overlooked and underestimated by endoscopy.
急性化脓性食管炎是一种非常罕见的、危及生命的食管炎形式,其特征为食管黏膜下和肌层内弥漫性细菌感染和脓液形成。我们描述了一例病例,增强胸部 CT 对评估化脓性食管炎的严重程度非常有用,而内镜检查对此则存在漏诊和低估。
