Abstract EN
Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) is an uncommon disease characterized by gastrointestinal bleeding and endoscopic findings of circumferential black-colored necrosis of the distal esophagus.
Patients at risk include elderly males over the age of 65, who typically have multiple chronic medical issues including vascular disease and diabetes.
Mortality is reported to be 32%.
Here, we present a case of AEN in a renal transplant patient and describe potential inciting factors such as immunosuppression and opportunistic diseases.
