Abstract
A 41-year-old woman was found to have had spontaneous submucosal disse ction of the esophagus by esophagoscopy. Food ingestion was postulated to have been an initiating factor in this instance. Conservative ther apy was sufficient in this case. Patients who complain of sore throat with retrosternal pain and an obstructed sensation on swallowing or mi ld hematemesis should be examined by esophagoscopy for evidence of thi s disorder.
