Intramural esophageal dissection (IED) is an uncommon entity characterized
by mucosal rupture creating a false lumen. It usually develops following endoscopy or in
old patients with bleeding tendencies and spontaneous presentation possesses diagnostic
dilemma. Managing partial IED is simpler than circumferential IED. Due to rarity of
presentation, management is not standardized. We report circumferential IED in a young
patient and challenges faced during diagnosis and management.
