Oesophageal emergencies are relatively rare but their management leaves little room for error. This article explains the aetiology, diagnosis and management of oesophageal bleeding, obstruction, perforation and caustic injury. The essential role of early flexible endoscopy and specialist multi-disciplinary care is emphasized.
