Abstract
- A 43-year-old man was admitted complaining of swallowing difficulties. The esophagography revealed severe stenosis at the esophagogastric anastomotic site. Esophagography after balloon dilatation showed a transmural perforation with mediastinal leakage. The patient was treated conservatively for one week at which time the esophagography showed no further leakage at the anastomotic site and the good passage of barium. A 2-year follow-up chest computed tomography (CT) showed good patency of the esophageal lumen and the marked resorption of barium in the mediastinum.
