SALVADOR-IBARRA, Ibzan J. y PIZANA-DAVILA, Alejandro. Boerhaave syndrome. Case report and literature review. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, suppl.2, pp.26-30. Epub 14-Feb-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000010.
Spontaneous lesions can affect only a part of the esophageal wall (Mallory-Weiss syndrome) or constitute a full-thickness rupture of the organ, leading to Boerhaave syndrome. Most commonly affecting males between 50 and 70 years of age, Clinically, the Mackler triad is vomiting, severe chest pain, and subcutaneous cervical emphysema. The delay in diagnosis explains the high mortality rate of this pathology up to 40-60% in those treated at 48 hours. The prognosis improves if treatment is established within the first 24 hours.
