Aortic Pseudoaneurysm Secondary to Mediastinitis due to Esophageal Perforation
Fecha
2016Abstract
Esophageal perforation is a condition associated with high morbidity and mortality rates; it requires early diagnosis and treatment.
The most common complication of esophageal rupture is mediastinitis. There are several case reports in the literature of
mediastinitis secondary to esophageal perforation and development of aortic pseudoaneurysm as a complication. We report the
case of a patient with an 8-day history of esophageal perforation due to foreign body (fishbone) with mediastinitis and aortic
pseudoaneurysm. The diagnosis was made using Computed Tomography (CT) with intravenous and oral water-soluble contrast
material. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy did not detect the perforation.
