  • Title: Traumatic esophageal rupture: unusual cause of acute mediastinal widening.
    Author: Carter MP, Long RF, Pellegrini RA, Wynn RA.
    Journal: South Med J; 1991 Jun; 84(6):767-9. PubMed ID: 2052970.
    Abstract:
    We have presented the case of a 32-year-old man who sustained blunt trauma to the chest in a motor vehicle accident. Plain roentgenograms showed a widened mediastinum and pneumomediastinum, and an esophagogram with water-soluble contrast material showed an esophageal laceration at the T-4 level.
