[Spontaneous intramural hematoma of the esophagus. Apropos of a case]. / Hématome spontané intramural de l'oesophage. A propos d'un cas.

ABSTRACT

The authors report a case of spontaneous intramural haematoma of the oesophagus. This is a rare observation which usually occurs in association with oesophageal hyperpressure and sometimes with impaired haemostasis. The strategy for diagnosis is based on tomodensitography and also endosonography and magnetic resonance imagery.
