토혈을 동반한 관형 식도 중복증 1예

초록

A 35-year old male developed epigastric pain and hematemesis one week before admission. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed and a communication between the esophagus and another opening was discovered. On a follow- up CT and barium esophagogram, a tubular duplication was suspected and the patient was referred to the department of cardio-thoracic surgery. A pathological diagnosis of esophageal duplication (tubular type) was established. The patient was discharged and is currently being followed up. Eso-phageal duplication is a rare congenital malformation. Moreover, it has not heen reported in Korea that esophagealduplication presents with hematemesis.
