ABSTRACT

Boerhaave´s Syndrome or spontaneous rupture of the esophagus is a rare cause of esophageal perforation with a high mortality. Usually presents after overindulgence in food or drink with vomiting followed by nonspecific symptoms such as chest pain, dyspnea, and subcutaneous emphysema, among others. The diagnostic approach depends of a high index of suspicion and the treatment is directly dependent of the time of onset being the surgical intervention the main approach.
