Boerhaave Syndrome: A Case Report

A case is presented of Boerhaave syndrome in a 70‑year‑old female patient complaining of dysphagia with solids for a long time. She consulted for abdominal pain for 24 hours, accompanied by nausea and fecal vomiting. The patient had tachypnea, tachycardia, hypoxia, abdominal guarding, and absence of bowel sounds. Thoracoabdominal computed tomography revealed significant pyloric wall thickening with secondary gastric distension, cervical subcutaneous emphysema, bilateral pleural effusion, and pneumomediastinum.

Abstract

A case is presented of Boerhaave syndrome in a 70‑year‑old female patient complaining of dysphagia with solids for a long time. She consulted for abdominal pain for 24 hours, accompanied by nausea and fecal vomiting. The patient had tachypnea, tachycardia, hypoxia, abdominal guarding, and absence of bowel sounds. Thoracoabdominal computed tomography revealed significant pyloric wall thickening with secondary gastric distension, cervical subcutaneous emphysema, bilateral pleural effusion, and pneumomediastinum.
