Tubular exfoliation of esophagus

Symptoms and signs of mucosal damage can be expressed as submucosal hematoma. The hematoma peels off the surface layer and lamina propria of the esophagus mucosa, and takes the shape of a tube. It comes out of the mouth and looks like a ribbon hanging from the corner of the mouth and connected to the pharynx. "Esophageal mucosal tubular exfoliation" is also known as "superficial exfoliative esophagitis" and "traumatic exfoliative esophagitis". Esophageal mucosal injury is one of the common esophageal traumas, and most of them are neglected because the injury is not serious. Clinically, it can heal itself with less infection. The mechanism may be caused by rupture of blood vessels between the mucosal layer and the propria layer after esophageal mucosal injury, and hematomas occur. The esophageal mucosa is tubularly exfoliated due to the increasing and expanding blood. At this time, due to the effect of gravity, the lower end of the lower end of the esophagus can withstand a large amount of irritation, such as vomiting, which can rupture the mucous membrane. If the patient develops vomiting and exfoliation, the mucosal cast will be reversed and detached from the mouth. The exfoliated tube is composed of squamous epithelium without inflammation and necrosis
