    Author: Mur Villacampa M, Guerrero Navarro L, Cabeza Lamban F, Pérez Alfranca JM.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Apar Dig; 1989 Aug; 76(2):155-7. PubMed ID: 2813902.
    Abstract:
    Boerhaave's syndrome, or spontaneous esophageal perforation, is an infrequent entity with an elevated morbidity and mortality. Its clinical manifestations are such that an extensive differential diagnosis with other entities in necessary, but diagnostic delay worsens the prognosis. We present a new case of Boerhaave's syndrome, that debuted as a picture of acute abdomen which led to the realization of an exploratory laparotomy that failed to evidence the esophageal perforation.
