Boerhaave Syndrome Radiology Key
Boerhaave syndrome represents the clinical syndrome associated with spontaneous esophageal rupture from retching and vomiting. The factor most often associated with a high mortality is a delay in diagnosis as this can result in significant mediastinal infection and tissue destruction [1-3]. Surgical repair remains the mainstay of therapy.
Boerhaave syndrome Radiology Case
Causes of esophageal injury include iatrogenic (including esophagogastroduodenoscopy and stent placement), foreign body ingestion, blunt or penetrating trauma to the chest or abdomen, and forceful retching, also called Boerhaave syndrome.
Boerhaave syndrome Radiology Case
Boerhaave syndrome is a barogenic injury resulting from a sudden increase in intraluminal pressure against a closed cricopharyngeus. Neuromuscular dysfunction results in a non-relaxed cricopharyngeus with a resultant rise in pressure.

Boerhaave syndrome Radiology Case
Spontaneous oesophageal rupture (Boerhaave's syndrome) is an uncommon but serious condition. A retrospective review was undertaken of the management of 34 patients (age range 17-85 years) presenting between 1991 and 2006. Contrast swallow was possible in 22 patients, confirming the diagnosis in 17.

Boerhaave syndrome is the perforation of the oesophagus caused by forceful vomiting due to increased intra-oesophageal pressure combined with relatively negative intra-thoracic pressure. This syndrome is associated with Mackler's triad (vomiting, chest pain, and subcutaneous emphysema).
Boerhaave Syndrome and MalloryWeiss Syndrome (MWS) Lecturio
Boerhaave syndrome is a spontaneous longitudinal perforation of the esophagus due to forceful emesis first described by Hermann Boerhaave in the 18th century.

Boerhaave's syndrome is the spontaneous rupture of the esophagus, which requires early diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms may vary, and diagnosis can be challenging. Case 1: A 54-year-old Chinese man presented to us with sudden-onset epigastric pain radiating to the back following hematemesis. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a full-thickness rupture of the esophageal wall.
