Abstract
Well-timed diagnostics of a spontaneous nontraumatic rupture of esophagus or Boerhaave’s syndrome, presents great difficulties because of his rarity and a variety of clinical implications. Esophagus ruptures may feign various organs pathology [2] that most often demands differential diagnostics with a stomach ulcer perforation, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary artery embolism, aortic dissection and pancreatitis [16, 17]. The treatment can include conservative and surgical tools, but still accompanied by high mortality (up to 35%) [7]; results largely defined by the time between the moment of a rupture and start of the treatment. In addition to the review, described the experience of successful treatment of a patient with Boerhaave’s syndrome in the light of the generalized today data of world medical literature on this problem.
