Document: Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) is a multifactorial disease with a predilection for elderly male patients with multiple medical problems, including mainly hypoperfusion and malnutrition. The diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy, and AEN is managed conservatively by controlling the underlying illness.

Endoscopy confirmed AEN, and he was managed conservatively with antacids, hydration, and antibiotics.
