Accidental pneumatic rupture of the esophagus

ET Gelfand, RL Fisk and JC Callaghan

A case of accidental pneumatic rupture of the thoracic esophagus in a 6- year-old boy is reported. Early operation with transthoracic esophageal repair resulted in survival of the patient, and follow-up at 18 months has demonstrated normal esophageal function and anatomy. A search of the literature has yielded 11 similar cases.
