Abstract EN
Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN), also known as black esophagus due to its appearance on endoscopy, classically involves the distal esophagus (97% of cases).
AEN affecting the midesophagus with sparing of the distal esophagus is rare and usually occurs in patients with thoracic aortic aneurysmal (TAA) rupture or aortic dissection.
Herein, we report a unique case of AEN in the midesophagus in a patient with an unruptured and undissected TAA.
