[Azygos vein injury. A new complication of upper digestive endoscopies].
A patient presented with a ruptured azygos vein following esophagoscopy. The diagnosis was difficult. Selective angiography was helpful and surgical treatment ensured good result. This is the first case of this type to be reported in the literature.
