Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) is a rare condition that has been associated with low volume states, microvascular disease, gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal damage, and impaired GI motility. It has been linked in case reports with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and is commonly associated with GI bleeding (GIB).
