Abstract
The syndrome of Boerhaave is a rare affection, corresponding to a spontaneous rupture of the oesophagus, the prognosis of which depends on the precocity of cares. Clinically, it is characterized by a set of three: efforts of vomitings, thoracic pain and subcutaneous emphysema. We report the first case of spontaneous rupture of the oesophagus in a 3-month pregnant woman, further to incoercible vomiting. The excellent clinical tolerance of the patient has allowed a medical care with strict monitoring, parenteral food and adapted antibiotic therapy. The surgery as a matter of urgency, usually indicated in this pathology, was not realized in this context of pregnancy. The obstetric and neonatal future was favorable. We discuss the diagnostic difficulties, the modalities of cares as well as the prognosis of such a pathology.
