A Rare Case of Boerhaaves Syndrome Managed Conservatively
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The incidence of Boerhaave syndrome is relatively rare. A 1980 review by Kish[5] cited 300 cases in the literature worldwide. A 1986 summary by Bladergroen[6] et al described 127 cases. Of these, 114 were diagnosed antemortem; the others were diagnosed at autopsy. Its diagnosis is based mainly on exclusion of major causes of its presenting symptoms like chest pain and vomiting. We report one such rare case at our facility which was diagnosed late after investigation approx 5 days of admission. It was successfully managed by conservative methods without any operative intervention.
