[A case of sudden unexplained death following retro-sternal esophagoplasty (author's transl)]

A recent case of deadly syncope, overcome five days after a colic retro-sternal esophagoplasty for caustic stenosis of the esophagus, and remaining unexplained even at the post-mortem examination, reminds the same cases formerly published. Its report is done for the purpose of inciting other authors to publish similar facts that they could have observed. These collected cases would lead to consider the possible responsibility of the retro-sternal way and put its indications back into question.
