Abstract
The syndrome of Boerhaave is a rare affection, it’s is characterized by the spontaneous transmural rupture of the esophagus. The classic presentation of Boerhaave syndrome is characterized by Mackler's triad, consisting of chest pain, vomiting, and subcutaneous emphysema. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of the oesophagus in a three-month pregnant woman, further to incoercible vomiting. The good clinical tolerance of the patient has allowed a medical care with strict monitoring, parenteral food and broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. The surgery, usually indicated in this pathology, was not realized in this case. 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.
