Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Esophageal perforations are infrequent medical events.
  • Instrumentation is the most common cause of esophageal perforations.
  • Spontaneous esophageal perforation is an exceptionally rare occurrence.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of unsuspected spontaneous esophageal perforation.
  • Initial computed tomography of the chest revealed a mediastinal abscess.
  • A subsequent barium swallow examination confirmed the esophageal perforation diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Computed chest tomography is effective in identifying mediastinal abscesses.
  • Barium swallow studies are crucial for confirming esophageal perforations.
