Abstract
Six cases of spontaneous submucosal dissection of the oesophagus are described. This rare entity should be considered in patients presenting with chest pain, usually of sudden onset, associated with dysphagia and haematemesis. Barium swallow or endoscopy are needed to confirm the diagnosis and the characteristic features are described.Entities:
