Abstract

Esophageal intramural submucosal hematoma is a rare and uncommon condition which occurs due to anticoagulant or antiplatelet treatment in the elderly population, or secondary to trauma.

A 63-year-old female was presented to emergency with sudden onset hematemesis, back and chest pain left shoulder pain and sweating. She has a history of non-regulated hypertension and new diagnosed atrial fibrillation with using warfarin for a week. Except for high blood pressure, her physical examination was normal with long International Normalized Ratio (INR). For confirming cardiac pathologies (abdominal aortic aneurysm or dissection) echocardiography and intravenous contrast computerized tomography of chest and abdomen was performed Computed Tomography (CT) findings were consistent with an intramural esophageal hematoma. She hospitalized intensive care unit and was controlled regularly with blood tests and vital signs. After decreasing INR, gastroscopy was performed, and findings were consistent with an intramural esophageal hematoma. By hemodynamic stabilization oral intake was starting with fluid. Control esophagogastroscopy was performed to exclude any malignancy underlying hematoma and also showed regression of hematoma. She was recovered with conservative treatment. On the day of the sixteenth, she was discharged. Spontaneously submucosal esophageal hematoma due to anticoagulant or antiplatelet treatment in the elderly patient, is a rarely seen condition. By conservative treatment, most of the cases can be recovered.

Abstract

İntramural submukozal özofagus hematomu, sıklıkla yaşlı popülasyonda, antikoagülan veya antiplatelet tedavisine veya travmaya sekonder gelişen, nadir gözlenen bir durumdur.

63 yaşında kadın hasta ani başlangıçlı hematemez, sırt ve göğüs ağrısı, omuz ağrısı ve terleme ile acil servise başvurdu. Regule olmayan hipertansiyon ve yeni tanı atriyal fibrilasyon nedeniyle yaklaşık bir haftadır warfarin kullanım öyküsü mevcuttu. Yapılan fizik muayenesinde yüksek kan basıncı dışında özellik olmayıp, yapılan laboratuvar testlerinde Uluslararası Normalize Oran (INR) normal değerinden yüksek saptandı. Olası kardiyak patolojileri (abdominal aort anevrizması veya diseksiyonu) dışlamak için ekokardiyografi ve intravenöz kontrastlı toraks ve abdomen bilgisayarlı tomografisi (BT) çekildi. BT bulguları intramural özofagus hematomu ile uyumlu saptanan hasta yoğun bakım ünitesine yatırıldı. Vital takip ve düzenli aralıklarla kan testleri kontrol edildi. INR değeri gerileyen hastaya gastroskopi yapıldı. Bulgular intramural özofagus hematomunu desteklemekteydi. Hemodinamik stabilizasyon sonrası oral sıvı gıda alımına başlandı. Takiplerinde altta yatan maligniteyi dışlamak ve hematomun gerilemesini göstermek için kontrol özofagogastroskopi yapıldı. Olağan görünümde olduğu saptandı. Hasta konservatif tedavi ile izlem sonunda, on altıncı günde, sorunsuz bir şekilde taburcu edildi.

Yaşlı hastada antikoagülan veya antiplatelet tedavisine bağlı spontan submukozal özofagus hematomu nadir görülen bir durumdur. Konservatif tedavi ile vakaların çoğu iyileşebilir.
