Sammanfattning
Acute oesophageal necrosis is a rarely seen phenomenon, occurring in situations with ischaemic insult in combination with gastric outlet obstruction or
gastro-oesophageal reflux. The hallmark is circumferential necrosis of the oesophageal mucosa and it is associated with a high mortality. Two patients
presented with haematemesis. They were admitted to hospital in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis. Endoscopy revealed acute oesophageal necrosis. They were
stabilized and treated with high-dose proton pump inhibitors. Both patients recovered and were discharged without sequelae.
