## TL;DR

This paper presents a clinical case where Mallory–Weiss syndrome was identified using CT and later confirmed by endoscopy.

## Contribution

The study provides CT semiological elements useful for detecting Mallory–Weiss syndrome, a rare condition.

## Key findings

- Mallory–Weiss syndrome was suspected on CT and confirmed on endoscopy.
- The case highlights rare CT features of Mallory–Weiss syndrome.

## Abstract

We report in this clinical case Mallory–Weiss syndrome suspected on computed tomography (CT) and confirmed on endoscopy. Mallory–Weiss syndrome is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding from vomiting-induced mucosal laceration(s) at the gastroesophageal junction. The description of Mallory–Weiss Syndrome is rare on imaging and this observation provides CT semiological elements useful in detecting signs of Mallory-Weiss syndrome.
