“…Intramural haematoma of the oesophagus usually presents with sudden onset of retrosternal chest pain, dysphagia and odynophagia 24 . Haematemesis is not uncommon 6,25 . Chest pain may be severe and imitate a myocardial infarction or dissecting aortic aneurysm.…”

Intramural haematoma of the oesophagus is an uncommon and under-recognized condition. It may mimic other causes of chest pain, haematemesis, or dysphagia, and hence pose a diagnostic challenge. We report a case of an unusual presentation of intramural haematoma of the oesophagus occurring as a presumed complication of endotracheal intubation. It was disguised as acute onset post-operative chest pain, and resolved with conservative management. Awareness of this uncommon complication is important to allow rapid and timely diagnosis and management. We review the literature, causes and imaging features of this condition.

“…There is no obvious explanation though, on the tendency of posterior wall involvement, or the propensity for this to occur in the esophagus. An esophageal hematoma could be confused with a soft tissue tumor 17 . A ‘double‐barrel’ esophagus related to superficial extraluminal spread of contrast 18 and ‘mucosal stripe’ may also be demonstrated radiologically.…”

Hematoma of the esophagus is an uncommon condition. Patients often present with acute odynophagia or retrosternal pain, which may be confused with other diagnoses. We report herein two patients with esophageal hematoma caused by foreign body ingestion. Conservative treatment resulted in complete resolution. The literature is reviewed for the etiology, clinical features and management of this condition.

“…Thirdly, cross-sectional imaging (e.g. CT/MRI) is invaluable and excludes other differential diagnoses, such as aortic dissection, and provides a noninvasive tool for follow-up [5,6]. Finally, endoscopic ultrasound scanning (EUS) clearly reveals that the haematoma lies in the submucosa and not in the extramural posterior mediastinal soft tissues [3].…”

Dissecting intramural haematoma of the oesophagus (DIHO) is a rare condition, which has an excellent prognosis when managed conservatively. Awareness of this condition is vital to guide subsequent investigations and avoid inappropriate treatment or unnecessary surgical intervention. We describe an unusual case of massive DIHO causing left atrial compression presenting with pericarditic electrocardiographic changes and document the utility of endoscopic ultrasound/computed tomography to make the diagnosis.
