Pathogenesis

  • The exact pathogenesis of Mallory-Weiss syndrome is not fully understood.
  • It is thought that Mallory-Weiss syndrome is the result of sudden increase in intraabdominal pressure that causes mucosal lacerations. If the tear involves the esophageal venous or arterial Plexus,bleeding occurs.[1][2]
