Date of Publication: 2013. | Abstract: | Intramural hematoma of the esophagus (IHE) is an uncommon esophageal injury. Diagnosis requires high index of suspicion as it can mimic various other cardiovascular, pulmonary, mediastinal or esophageal diseases. Although multiple imaging modalities have been reported to be useful, CT with intravenous contrast should be the imaging modality of choice if not contraindicated. Treatment of IHE is mainly supportive; complete resolution in several weeks is the expected outcome. It is crucial that this condition is recognized and considered in the differential diagnosis of any patients who present with chest pain or dysphagia. © 2013 Hellenic Society of Gastroenterology. | ISSN: | 1108-7471 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/42625 | Type: | Article | Type of Clinical Study or Trial: | Case series or case report |
