Ketosis-prone Diabetes presenting with Acute Esophageal Necrosis or "Black Esophagus": An Intriguing New Clinical Association.

Since DKA could be a possible trigger of AEN, a rare but potentially lifethreatening condition, that clinicians should be aware of, in patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and ketoacidosis. The prompt management and classification of DKA, combined with the EGD execution for early AEN diagnosis and follow-up, is essential.
