RESUMO
A 62 year old woman admitted with a history suggesting acute myocardial infarction had thrombolytic treatment with anisoylated plasminogen-streptokinase activator complex, which resulted in submucosal haemorrhage in the oesophagus; this caused dissection of the wall of the oesophagus and complete dysphagia. The haematoma resolved spontaneously, leaving behind a diverticulum, with reduced peristalsis and delayed emptying but no obstruction.
