Mallory-Weiss syndrome requires further in-depth study of the pathogenesis of developing disease, although in recent years there are new directions in endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of ruptures of the mucosal and submucosal layers of gastric cardia, accompanied by acute blood loss. According to literature there are conflicting approaches to tactics of conservative therapy and surgical treatment of Mallory-Weiss syndrome.

In review article are presented the current views on the etiology, pathogenesis and diagnostic methods, as well as the issues of treatment of Mallory-Weiss syndrome. Despite the advances in medical technology and pharmacology, mortality in this pathology remains at a high level and is 13-17%.

Keywords: Mallory-Weiss syndrome, gastrointestinal bleeding , uncontrollable vomiting, endoscopic diathermo-coagulation.
