Acute esophageal necrosis or black esophagus is an uncommon clinical entity, diagnosed at the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with the presence of strikingly black necrotic esophagus. Very often no definite etiology will be identified even though a large list of potential associations has been
Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) is a relatively uncommon presentation of esophagitis. AEN is characterized by black necrotic esophageal tissue and is associated with high mortality rates. We discuss the case of a 72-year-old Caucasian male who was admitted to the medical intensive-care unit (MICU)
Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) is a very rare disorder typically presenting as a diffuse black esophageal mucosa on upper endoscopy. For this reason, AEN is often considered to be synonymous with 'black esophagus'. The pathogenesis of entity is still unknown. We report a case of AEN with duodenal
BACKGROUND
Endoscopic discovery of a black esophagus due to acute necrosis is quite exceptional excepting cases of poisoning.
METHODS
A 48-year-old man suffered acute necrosis of the esophagus giving a black aspect at endoscopy. Soon after the exploration he developed a state of shock with
Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN), or colloquially named "black esophagus," is a rare clinical condition often associated with ischemic injury to the esophagus secondary to splanchnic vasoconstriction during hypotensive episodes. We present a case of a 78-year-old man with extensive cardiovascular
A case of transmural ischemic necrosis of the esophagus secondary to aortic dissection is presented. A 66-year-old woman with acute type A aortic dissection underwent total arch replacement with a technique of deep hypothermic arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion. Postoperatively she had
Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN), also designated black esophagus, is a rare disorder that is poorly described in the medical literature. We present the case of an 80 years old man, with upper gastrointestinal bleeding who developed a black esophagus after hypotensive episodes. Necrosis was confirmed
Acute esophageal necrosis is uncommon in the literature. Its etiology is unknown, although cardiovascular disease, hemodynamic compromise, gastric outlet obstruction, alcohol ingestion, hypoxemia, hypercoagulable state, infection, and trauma have all been suggested as possible causes. A 67-year-old
Eleven neonates ranging in gestational age from 34 to 40 weeks presented with gastric necrosis. The 4 full-term neonates showed sudden-onset hemorrage and "coffee-ground" vomiting; in the 7 premature babies the initial clinical finding was abdominal distention. The criteria for diagnosis were:
Hot packs (instant hot compresses) are frequently used to relieve pain. We report a patient who had significant complications from ingestion of a hot pack containing calcium salts. A 35-year-old male swallowed three hot packs, and developed hematemesis, severe abdominal pain, and hypercalcemia (21.1
Black esophagus, also known as acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) syndrome, is a rare entity characterized by patchy or diffuse circumferential black pigmentation of the esophageal mucosa from ischemic necrosis. It may present with life-threatening upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage resulting in high
Acute esophageal necrosis is defined as necrosis of the esophageal mucosa causing diffuse black pigmentation of the esophagus, the so-called black esophagus from its endoscopic findings. The prevalence is only 0.001~0.2%, while its mortality rate is up to 32%. However, most of the Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN), also known as Gurvits syndrome, black esophagus, or acute necrotizing esophagitis, is a rare clinical entity and an unusual reason for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It is typically described in critically ill patients with multiple medical conditions, arising from
Introduction. Splenic artery Pseudoaneurysm, a complication of chronic pancreatitis, presenting as massive hematemesis is a rare presentation. Case Report. We present a case of 38-year-old male admitted with chief complaints of pain in the upper abdomen and massive hematemesis for the last 15 days.
We report a unique case of acute esophageal necrosis in association with perforated acute cholecystitis and secondary Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia. An 83-year-old male with history of diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, ischemic cardiomyopathy and recent right hemicolectomy for colon adenocarcinoma
