Black esophagus: Necrosis aguda esofágica en paciente con shock hemorrágico

Abstract

Acute esophageal necrosis (black esophagus) is an infrequent condition associated with tissue hypoperfusion. The etiology is multifactorial. The treatment consists of treating the triggering situation and keeping the patient nil-per-os. It can present complications such as perforation or esophageal stenosis. It is usually reversible by improving the triggering pathology.
