Abstract

Phlegmonous esophagitis, a rare and life-threatening disorder, is characterized by bacterial infection of the submucosal and muscularis layers of the esophagus. Herein we report a case of acute phlegmonous esophagitis with mediastinitis complicated by an esophageal perforation in a patient with diabetes mellitus and alcoholic liver cirrhosis.

급성 연조직식도염은 식도점막 하층과 근육층에 세균감염이 생기는 아주 드물고 생명을 위협하는 질환이다. 저자들은 당뇨병 및 알코올성 간경화 환자에서 발생한 종격동염, 식도천공이 동반된 급성 연조직식도염 1예를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
