Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Spontaneous esophageal perforation (Boerhaave’s syndrome)
Radiologic Findings
CHEST PA shows inhomogeneous increased opacity in the medial portion of Lt lower lung field behind the heart. The descending thoracic aorta silhouette is partly obscured by the opacity.
Pneumomediastinum is seen along the Lt side heart and aortic border.
Chest CT shows large retrocardiac mass-like lesion with internal bubbly radiolucency, suggesting leaked stomach contents. Associated Lt pleural effusion is noted. Pneumomediastinum is also present.
The scan just above the GE junction shows suspicious rupture of the posterolateral wall of the esophagus(arrow).
Findings are suggestive of collection of fluid and gas in the left side mediastinum after rupture of the distal esophagus.
