It is diagnosed on the basis of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and radiology. Treatment is conservative unless hemodynamic instability prevails. Use of anticoagulation or thrombolytic therapy is believed to be a risk factor rather than a causative etiology. However, a review of literature shows only few cases occurring post-thrombolysis. We report about a patient of myocardial infarction who was thrombolyzed with streptokinase. He developed hematemesis and dysphagia a few hours after thrombolysis despite ECG resolution of his ST elevation. He was diagnosed to have EIH on basis of endoscopic and computed tomographic findings. His symptoms improved within two weeks, and a repeat UGIE showed resolution of the hematoma.
