Résumé

Necrotizing esophagitis is rare and poorly understood. The etiologies reported in what little has been published (i.e., gastroesophageal reflux exacerbated by gastric outlet obstruction and low-flow ischemia) seem somewhat simplistic and lack any direct evidence. The following paper illustrates a recent clinical case while laying out arguments supporting esophageal spasm as a possible contributing factor.
