-==Overview==
+==[[Mallory-Weiss syndrome overview|Overview]]==
-'''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.
-==Historical Perspective==
+==[[Mallory-Weiss syndrome historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-The condition was first described in 1929 by G. Kenneth Mallory and [[Soma Weiss]] in 15 alcoholic patients <ref>Weiss S, Mallory GK. ''Lesions of the cardiac orifice of the stomach produced by vomiting.'' [[Journal of the American Medical Association]] 1932;98:1353-55.</ref>

-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.
-===Endoscopy===
+==Treatment==
-Definitive diagnosis is by [[Esophagogastroduodenoscopy|endoscopy]].

-==Treatment==
+==Case Studies==
-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.
