Zusammenfassung:Abstract Two patients with cirrhosis are presented who developed retrosternal pain and dysphagia immediately after sclerotherapy of esophageal varices. Extensive submucosal bleeding of the esophageal wall was demonstrated radiologically and endoscopically. Complete resolution occurred spontaneously and did not lead to residual complications such as strictures. Intramural hematoma of the esophagus is an unusual complication after endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy.
