Overview

An upright anterior-posterior view of the chest is the most useful in early diagnosis. In most patients with Boerhaave syndrome (BHS) chest x-ray shows one-sided effusion, pneumothorax, hydropneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema.

Chest X Ray

  • An upright anterior-posterior view of the chest is the most useful in early diagnosis, as most of the patients will reveal an abnormal chest finding after the perforation.
  • The Naclerio V-sign may be seen on chest radiograph as radiolucent streaks of air seen in the retro-cardiac region in the V shape.[1]

The usual although unspecific radiographic features of BHS include:[2]

Whereas more specific signs are rarely detected or very subtle:[1][3][2]
