Boerhaave syndrome: report of a case treated non-operatively

A J Larrieu et al. Ann Surg. 1975 Apr.

Abstract

An unique case of Boerhaave's Syndrome is presented in which the patient survived without any surgical treatment. We believe that this was due to non-contamination of the mediastinal and pleural cavities as shown by serial contrast roentgenograms of the esophagus.
