| Popis: | In an unusual case of spontaneous rupture of the midthoracic esophagus by direct compressed air blast, a sudden jet of air directed from an exploding automobile tire entered the oropharynx, creating a massive increase in the oral and upper esophageal pressure with a laceration of the buccal mucosa of the lower lip and a rupture of the midthoracic esophagus. The patient was treated successfully with transthoracic primary repair of the rupture. Surgical intervention is the treatment of choice. |
