Mallory-Weiss
Scars after a Mallory Weiss lesion
The Mallory-Weiss syndrome is a lesion in the region of the lower oesophageal sphincter, usually caused by a forceful vomiting. It can also be caused by excessive coughing. Often the patient has a hiatal hernia, and not seldom this lesion comes after alchohol intake. The lesion often bleeds, but the bleeding usually stops spontaneusly.This is a scar after a bleeding Mallory-Weiss lesion.
