A
30-year-old woman presented with a severe attack of #hematemesis was admitted
to the endoscopy unit. The patient underwent an upper
digestive #endoscopy. The scope revealed #hematoma
in the lower esophagus (cause of hematemesis). The patient's history is
unremarkable. However, the hematoma was invisible in the forward introduction
of the scope as the hematoma is present between two mucosal folds, so it is essential
to examine the esophagus during the withdrawal of
the scope and move the scope upwards very slowly. In addition, there is a congenital hemangioma in the patient leg, with
increased width of this leg.
Is
there a relationship between the esophageal hematoma and the congenital leg
hemangioma?
