    Journal: Chir Ital; 1988 Jun; 40(3):207-18. PubMed ID: 3067879.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe the case of a 67-year-old patient with spontaneous rupture of the middle third of the oesophagus, occurring apparently without any involvement of intraluminal hypertension. The surgical treatment consisted in the execution of an aspiration drainage of the left pleural cavity, followed by a right thoracotomy with exploration of the mediastinum. A gastrostomy according to Witzel was also performed. Total parenteral nutrition was instituted in the post-operative period. Healing of the oesophageal lesion was confirmed radiologically 2 months after admission to our department.
