Abstract
Oesophagitis dissecans superficialis is a rare benign entity that is usually self-limited, characterised by sloughing of the oesophageal mucosa. We preset a 38-year-old woman, known case of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita who presented to us with regurgitation and prolapse of the oesophageal mucosa from the mouth. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed sloughing of the mucosa. The patient was managed conservatively and discharged.
