| Popis: | Endoscopy, aortography and laparotomy failed to demonstrate a high aorto-oesophageal fistula of obscure aetiology in a woman presenting with haematemesis. Recognition of Chiari's triad: mid-thoracic pain, sentinel arterial haemorrhage, and final exsanguination after a symptom-free interval, and therapeutic embolization as a mode of therapy, are discussed. |
