Esophageal Laceration

Aka: Esophageal Laceration, Mallory Weiss Syndrome, Mallory Weiss Tear, Mallory-Weiss Laceration, Gastroesophageal Junction Laceration
  1. Pathophysiology
    1. Severe Retching results in tear in esophageal mucosa
    2. Lesion occurs near esophagogastric junction
  2. Epidemiology
    1. Incidence: 7.3 per 100,000
  3. Symptoms
    1. Hematemesis follows episode of Retching or Vomiting
  4. Signs
    1. Melena
    2. Shock
  5. Differential Diagnosis
    1. Peptic Ulcer Disease
    2. Esophageal Perforation
    3. Esophagitis
    4. Esophageal Varices
  6. Diagnosis
    1. Endoscopy (EGD)
      1. Mucosal tear directly visualized
  7. Course
    1. Most spontaneously heal
    2. However, bleeding related mortality approaches that of Peptic Ulcer Bleeding (esp. age >65 and comorbidity)
  8. Management
    1. Generally heals spontaneously within several days
    2. Endoscopy for cauterization if needed
    3. Surgery rarely required

Definition (MSHCZE) Stav charakterizovaný krvácením z lineárních ruptur v oblasti ezofagogastrické junkce. Vzniká při silném zvracení, někdy u alkoholiků; jedna z příčin HEMATEMEZE. (cit. Velký lékařský slovník online, 2012 http://lekarske.slovniky.cz/ )
Definition (NCI) A disorder characterized by upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding caused by longitudinal mucosal tears in the gastroesophageal junction. The tears result from retching or forceful coughing. It was initially described in alcoholics.
Definition (MSH) A condition characterized by mucosal tears at the ESOPHAGOGASTRIC JUNCTION, sometimes with HEMATEMESIS. Typically it is caused by forceful bouts of retching or VOMITING.
