Overview
Mallory-Weiss syndrome must be differentiated from other causes of Upper gastrointestinal bleeding such as PUD, Esophagogastric varices, Severe or erosive gastritis/duodenitis, Angiodysplasia.
Differential Diagnosis
Mallory-Weiss syndrome must be differentiated from other diseases that cause esophageal ulcers such as:[1]
- Reflux esophagitis: Ulcerations are usually in distal esophagus, and maybe irregular and multiple, unlike Mallory-Weiss syndrome. Patients have history of heartburn and regurgitation.
- Infectious esophagitis: Ulcerations are multiple and usually involve the proximal esophagus.
- Medication-induced esophagitis: Ulcerations are usually singular and deep with a history of drug use such as tetracycline.
Mallory-Weiss syndrome must be differentiated from other causes of Upper gastrointestinal bleeding:[2][3][4][5]
