Abstrakt: Four cases of iatrogenic rupture of the oesophagus are presented. The site of the lesion was in the cervical tract in 1 case and in the thoracic tract in the other 3 cases. Their etiology was pneumatic endoscopic dilatation for achalasia in 2 cases, endoscopic insertion of a Celestin tube for carcinoma of the thoracic tract of the oesophagus in 1 case, and diagnostic endoscopy in the last one. Instrumental findings were relevant in all cases. All patients underwent surgery. In the patients suffering from achalasia, the rupture was repaired by a patch of the gastric fundus. The patient suffering from carcinoma underwent an oesophageal resection, the one with cervical perforation underwent a mediastinal drainage. There were no deaths or considerable post operating complications. In a patient suffering from achalasia gastro-oesophageal reflux was demonstrated after some months following the operation.
