ABSTRACT
Esophagitis dissecans superficialis is an extremely rare benign illness. Although an association with medications, skin conditions, heavy smoking, and physical trauma has been reported, most cases remain unexplained. We present a previously healthy 42-year-old woman found to have EDS secondary to trauma. The patient started on PPI therapy with rapid and complete resolution of the endoscopic abnormality. This case shows the importance of identification of EDS, a rare and often underdiagnosed entity.
