Esophageal laceration (mallory-weiss syndrome)
-
An esophageal laceration (Mallory-Weiss syndrome) is a tear that does not penetrate the wall of the esophagus.
The tear can be caused by forceful vomiting.
Symptoms include blood in vomit.
The diagnosis is based on upper endoscopy and laboratory tests.
When needed, treatment includes measures to stop the bleeding and rarely surgery.The esophagus is the hollow tube that leads from the throat (pharynx) to the stomach. (See also Overview of the Esophagus and Overview of Esophageal Injuries.)
A laceration of the lower esophagus and the upper part of the stomach during forceful vomiting, retching, or hiccups is called a Mallory-Weiss tear. The tear may rupture blood vessels, which then bleed. Mallory-Weiss syndrome was initially described in alcohol abusers, but it can occur in anyone who vomits forcefully.
Mallory-Weiss syndrome is the cause of about 5% of bleeding episodes in the upper digestive tract (see also Gastrointestinal Bleeding).
