Intramural oesophageal haematoma-a rare complication of dabigatran
Abstract
An 85-year-old female presented to hospital with haemoptysis. She underwent investigations which confirmed oesophageal submucosal haematoma. Oesophageal haematoma along with Mallory-Weiss and Boerhaave's syndromes make up acute mucosal injury of the oesophagus. It can be managed conservatively in the majority of cases.
