Esophageal hematoma, a rare condition causing swallowing pain, can result from foreign body ingestion. Conservative treatment effectively resolved symptoms in two reported cases, highlighting its potential as a management strategy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Esophageal hematoma is an uncommon clinical diagnosis.
  • Symptoms like acute odynophagia and retrosternal pain can mimic other gastrointestinal conditions.
  • Foreign body ingestion is a potential, though infrequent, cause of esophageal trauma.

Observation:

  • Two cases of esophageal hematoma secondary to foreign body ingestion are presented.
  • Patients experienced acute odynophagia and retrosternal pain.
  • Initial diagnostic evaluations were performed to identify the cause of symptoms.

Findings:

  • Conservative management, including supportive care and monitoring, led to complete resolution of the esophageal hematoma in both patients.
  • The review of existing literature identified foreign body ingestion as a key etiological factor.

  • Clinical features and effective management strategies for esophageal hematoma were analyzed.

    • Implications:

    • This case series suggests that conservative treatment can be a successful approach for esophageal hematoma caused by foreign bodies.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to differentiate esophageal hematoma from other causes of acute chest pain and dysphagia.
    • Further research into the specific mechanisms and optimal management protocols for esophageal hematoma is warranted.
