Abstract

Spontaneous intramural esophageal hematoma is a rare cause of chest pain. Erroneous diagnosis may cause inappropriate management and disaster. We describe one case of spontaneous intramural hematoma that was successfully managed by conservative treatment. Endoscopic and radiographic images are reviewed. The benefit of endoscopic ultrasound is emphasized.
