Abstrakt: • Traumatic perforation of the esophagus follows oropharyngeal suctioning or endotracheal intubation. The diagnosis frequently is made from a routine chest roentgenogram that shows a nasogastric tube in the right pleural space with or Without a pneumothorax. The lesion is seen most often in infants of low birth Weight.(Am J Dis Child 134:367-368, 1980)
