Intramural hematoma of the esophagus: a complication of carbon tetrachloride intoxication with acute renal failure.
Following a period of prolonged severe vomiting, an intramural esophageal hematoma could be demonstrated by endoscopy and by X-ray in a 21 year old patient with hepatic and renal failure after exposure to carbon tetrachloride. The hematoma resolved spontaneously. The intramural hematoma is thought to have developed from a microdissection of the esophageal wall in the presence of a hemorrhagic diathesis.
