Intramural Hematoma of the Esophagus: Unusual Complication of Esophageal Variceal Sclerotherapy

摘要

The authors report a case of esophageal hematoma in a 35-year-old man after esophageal variceal sclerotherapy with intravariceal injection of 5% ethanolamine oleate. A huge submucosal hematoma of the esophageal wall was demonstrated endoscopically and radiologically. Resolution occurred spontaneously after conservative treatment.
