title: [Clinico-endoscopic classification of Mallory-Weiss syndrome].
abstract: Mallory--Weiss syndrome was diagnosed in 153 of 1373 patients subjected to endoscopy for acute gastroduodenal and esophageal bleeding. Besides, this syndrome was first diagnosed at operation in 10 cases, at roentgenoscopy in 8 cases and at autopsy--in 8 cases. A classification of Mallory--Weiss syndrome with regard to the localization of fissures of the organ mucous membrane, the depth of the injury to the organ wall, the degree of the acute blood loss, and to the forms of manifestations of the syndrome has been devised. The classification has a practical importance for it helps the surgeon to choose the method of the treatment of the patients with Mallory--Weiss syndrome.
