- Abstract
- Aortoesophageal fistula secondary to thoracic aortic aneurysm is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and
is uniformly fatal without surgical intervention. We report a case of aortoesophageal fistula in an 83-year-old male who
presented with massive hematemesis after 4 days of NSAID use. Endoscopy showed a kissing esophageal ulcer with a
pulsating mass lesion in the mid esophagus. HRCT showed a fusiform aortic aneurysm in the descending aorta that was
affecting the mid esophagus. (Korean J Med 75:471-474, 2008)
