Acute oesophageal necrosis (AEN) is a rare entity that most commonly presents as upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Complex pathophysiology may include oesophageal ischaemia as well as reflux of acidic gastric contents causing oesophageal mucosal injury. Management is supportive and directed at underlying comorbidities however prognosis is poor with complications such as oesophageal perforation, stricture and stenosis. Here we present the case of a 56-year-old man with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease who developed AEN as a result of undiagnosed Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES), duodenal ulcer-induced obstruction and hypotension from new-onset atrial fibrillation. AEN as the presentation of MEN1-associated ZES is an unusual presentation of this disease which clinicians, particularly endocrinologists and endoscopists, should be aware of.

AbstractBackground:A 29-year-old man presented with sudden onset of severe pain in his throat, difficulty breathing and a hoarse voice, following an episode of vomiting.Investigations:Initial laboratory tests were normal. The patient underwent fibre-optic nasendoscopy, which demonstrated a haematoma in the piriform fossa. Lateral neck radiography and subsequent computed tomography scanning confirmed a 2 cm, loculated, gas-containing collection at the level of the vallecula in the right posterolateral wall, extending to the false vocal folds and communicating between the right parapharyngeal space and the right carotid sheath. Water-soluble contrast swallow confirmed the diagnosis.Diagnosis:Contained oesophageal perforation.Management:Conservative treatment was adopted involving nil orally, intravenous antibiotics and nasogastric feeding. The patient made an uneventful recovery.
