SPONTANEOUS RUPTURE OF THE ESOPHAGUS

N. D. O'CONNELL M.B., F.F.R.1

1 From Southmead Hospital, Bristol, England

Four new cases of "spontaneous" rupture of the esophagus are reported, 3 of which recovered completely, 2 with conservative treatment and I following direct suture of the tear.

The importance of early diagnosis with prompt and aggressive treatment, either by full supportive therapy alone or, preferably combined with surgery, is emphasized.

The premier part that radiology plays in making such an urgent diagnosis is stressed and is fully discussed.
