Intramural Esophageal Hematoma : An Unusual Complication of Endotracheal Intubation

Intramural esophageal hematoma (IEH) is an uncommonmedical condition. IEH is the result of hemorrhage within the esophageal wall, and may occur spontaneously or secondary to trauma. Spontaneous IEH may occur during sudden changes in transmural pressure, such as prolonged episodes of emesis, retching, and coughing. In addition, any type of blood dyscrasias can also lead to theoccurrence of IEH. Traumatic causes may be food-induced, or iatrogenic ; in particular after endoscopic interventions. Patients with IEH usually present with severe chest pain, dysphagia, odynophagia, and hematemesis. Herein, we describe a patient in whom the IEH was an adverse event of endotracheal intubation
