[Morphological analysis of the Mallory-Weiss syndrome as the basic disease and as a syndrome complicating ischemic heart disease].

On the basis of the analysis of 8 autopsies of Mallory-Weiss syndrome macro- and microscopic changes of the gastric and oesophageal mucosa were found to be similar in Mallory-Weiss syndrome and in the same syndrome accompanying ischemic heart disease. Liver insufficiency and necrobiotic changes of the liver accompanying it are characteristic of Mallory-Weiss syndrome as a distinct disease.
