==Overview==
{{SK}} Mallory-Weiss tear; Mucosal lacerations
'''Mallory-Weiss syndrome''' refers to bleeding from tears (a ''Mallory-Weiss tear'') in the [[mucosa]] at the junction of the [[stomach]] and [[esophagus]], usually caused by severe retching, [[cough]]ing, or [[vomiting]]. It is often associated with [[alcoholism]] and [[eating disorders]] and there is some evidence that presence of a [[hiatus hernia|hiatal hernia]] is a required predisposing condition.


Mallory-Weiss syndrome often presents as an episode of vomiting up blood ([[hematemesis]]) after violent retching or vomiting, but may also be noticed as old blood in the stool ([[melena]]), and a history of retching may be absent. In most cases, the bleeding stops spontaneously after 24-48 hours, but endoscopic or surgical treatment is sometimes required and rarely the condition is fatal.
==[[Mallory-Weiss syndrome overview|Overview]]==


Definitive diagnosis is by [[Esophagogastroduodenoscopy|endoscopy]]. Treatment is usually supportive as persistent bleeding is uncommon. However cauterization or injection of [[epinephrine]] to stop the bleeding may be undertaken during the index endoscopy procedure.  Very rarely embolization of the arteries supplying the region may be required to stop the bleeding.

The condition was first described in 1929 by G. Kenneth Mallory and [[Soma Weiss]] in 15 alcoholic patients.
