Acute Esophageal Necrosis: About A New Clinical Case

Abstract

Acute esophageal necrosis is a rare condition. The diagnosis is easily made by an upper digestive endoscopy which shows a black esophagus appearance. The etiology is not clearly established but seems to be multifactorial. The treatment of acute necrotizing esophagitis is primarily medical. We report a case of acute necrotizing esophagitis revealed by upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
