A case of obstructive intramural hematoma of the esophagus post variceal sclerotherapy is reported in a 44-year-old man who presented retrosternal pain and complete dysphagia. Endoscopy showed a bluish submucosal mass occupying the esophageal lumen. Diagnosis was confirmed by Computed Tomography. A favorable outcome was observed with symptomatic treatment.
