case_images: An emergency endoscopy performed on the day of admission identified a hematoma at the esophagogastric junction and a large volume of dark red blood in the stomach (Figure 1A and B, ). On the 3rd day, a follow-up gastroscopy showed prolapse of the gastric fundal mucosa and muscular layer covered by a hematoma, along with congestion, edema, and erosion at the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction (Figure 1C and D). Multiple mucosal defects in the esophagus showed signs of improvement (Figure 1E and F). On the 16th day, further endoscopic examination demonstrated a marked reduction in the gastric fundal ulcer size and continued healing of the esophageal mucosal defects (Figure 1G and H).
