Despite the improved diagnostic and treatment modalities recently introduced for a variety of esophageal disorders, a perforation or leak from the esophagus remains a sources of morbidity and mortality regardless of the cause of leak.
After the perforation of exophagus, the contamination of mediastinum and pleural cavity with food, bacteria and corrosive gastric juice leads to sepsis and cardiopulmonary dysfunction.
The early diagnosis and early t -eatment are very importent, and the delayed treatment leads to high risk of mobidity and mortality.
We experienced one case of esophageal perforation, after forced vomiting in 48 years old male patient.
We used omentum on the treatment of ruptured esophagus, and it was successfully managed.
