Dissecting esophagitis is a rare and benign form of chronic esophagitis, of diverse etiology, characterized by a typically whitish mucosa, with or without bleeding and presence of vertical circumferential fissures and cracks at endoscopy. Next, list a case of a young adult individual, who had a diagnosis of EDS with endoscopic diagnosis of EDS with probable cause of infection associated with loss of sub mucosal vascular component. After the diagnosis was made, therapeutic intervention was effectively possible.
