Unusual Submucosal Haemotoma in Esophagus on Upper G.I. Endoscopy

Abstract

Journal of clinical gastroenterology is part of the Juniper publishers which is devoted to publish subject-specific articles focused on the needs of individual research communities across all areas of biology and medicine. Esophageal submucosal haemotoma is one of the rare disorders of upper gastro intestinal tract and it is considered to be a form of injury to esophagus. There are two types of esophageal injuries: mechanical and chemical injuries. Mechanical injury is subdivided into traumatic and spontaneous ones. Here we present a case of submucosal haemotoma associated with opium intake.
