- Abstract : The following case describes a 29-year-old previously well gentleman who presented with an acute onset of chest pain, dysphagia, odynophagia and vomiting without haematemesis. An oesophageal lesion was visualised on CT angiography and further investigation via oesophogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) diagnosed a spontaneous intramural oesophageal haematoma as the cause of his symptomatology. Conservative medical management in the form of triple therapy and softened diet was well tolerated and a follow-up OGD at 6 weeks after discharge from hospital showed spontaneous resolution of the haematoma.
