  • Title: Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis complicated by pneumomediastinum.
    Author: Termote B, Verswijvel G, Palmers Y.
    Journal: JBR-BTR; 2006; 89(5):251-3. PubMed ID: 17147012.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis with perforation of the esophagus. A 32-year-old male presented with acute thoracal pain after a period of vomiting. Computed tomography revealed an important amount of mediastinal free air and small outpouchings in the wall of the esophagus. During the following thoracic surgery procedure no macroscopic site of rupture could be identified. Pseudodiverticulosis was detected during a barium swallow exam of the esophagus 4 weeks later.
