Intramural esophageal hematoma (IEH) is a rare manifestation of esophageal wall injury with nonspecific symptoms. It may be caused by trauma or occur spontaneously. IEH is often discovered on computed tomography or esophagogastroduodenoscopy and is typically managed conservatively with supportive care to allow healing. It is frequently an isolated finding in the esophagus and seldom involves any other organ. We report a rare case of a patient discovered to have an obstructing IEH with associated hemothorax after an unrelated surgical admission.
壁内型食管血肿(IEH)是食管壁损伤的一种罕见表现,症状不具特异性。它可能由外伤引起或自发出现。IEH常通过计算机断层扫描或食管胃十二指肠镜检查发现,通常采用支持性护理进行保守治疗以促进愈合。它在食管中常为孤立性发现,很少累及其他任何器官。我们报告了一例罕见病例,一名患者在接受无关手术入院后被发现患有阻塞性IEH并伴有血胸。
