Title: | Intramural haematoma of the oesophagus presenting as an unusual complication of endotracheal intubation. | Austin Authors: | Wang, A Y;Riordan, R D;Yang, N ;Hiew, C-y | Affiliation: | Radiology - Austin Hospital, Heidelberg, Vic, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia | Issue Date: | 1-Dec-2007 | Publication information: | Australasian Radiology; 51 Suppl(): B260-4 | Abstract: | 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. | Gov't Doc #: | 17991080 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10458 | DOI: | 10.1111/j.1440-1673.2007.01853.x | Journal: | Australasian radiology | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17991080 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Aged, 80 and over Esophageal Diseases.diagnosis.etiology Female Hematoma.diagnosis.etiology Humans Intubation, Intratracheal.adverse effects Positron-Emission Tomography Rare Diseases.etiology.radiography.radionuclide imaging Tomography, X-Ray Computed |
