    Author: Woolford TJ, Birzgalis AR, Lundell C, Farrington WT.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1993 Nov; 107(11):1059-60. PubMed ID: 8288984.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous perforation of the oesophagus is extremely rare in children, as is perforation due to vomiting in pregnancy. We report the case of a 15-year-old in whom vomiting in early pregnancy resulted in oesophageal perforation with subcutaneous emphysema causing marked facial swelling in the absence of other signs. The more common clinical presentation of spontaneous oesophageal rupture (Boerhaave's syndrome) is discussed.
