-'''Boerhaave syndrome''' (also called '''Boerhaave's syndrome'''), or '''Esophageal perforation''', is rupture of the [[esophagus|esophageal]] wall. It is most often caused by excessive [[vomiting]] in [[eating disorders]] such as [[bulimia]] although it may rarely occur in extremely forceful [[cough]]ing or other situations, such as [[Esophageal food bolus obstruction|obstruction by food]]. It can cause [[pneumomediastinum]] and/or [[mediastinitis]] (air or inflammation of the [[mediastinum]]) and [[sepsis]].

-This condition was first documented by the 18th-century physician [[Herman Boerhaave]], after whom it is named.<ref>{{WhoNamedIt|synd|2800}}</ref><ref>H. Boerhaave.

-==Symptoms==
+==[[Boerhaave syndrome historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-It typically occurs after forceful [[vomiting]]. Boerhaave syndrome is a transmural perforation (full-thickness; a '''hole''') of the [[esophagus]], distinct from [[Mallory-Weiss syndrome]], a nontransmural esophageal '''tear''' also associated with vomiting.
-Because it is generally associated with vomiting, Boerhaave syndrome usually is not truly spontaneous. However, the term is useful for distinguishing it from [[iatrogenic]] perforation, which accounts for 85-90% of cases of esophageal rupture, typically as a complication of an [[endoscopic]] procedure, feeding tube, or unrelated [[surgery]]. Boerhaave syndrome is often seen as a complication of Bulimia.

-==Pathophysiology==
+==[[Boerhaave syndrome causes|Causes]]==
-Esophageal rupture in Boerhaave syndrome is thought to be the result of a sudden rise in internal esophageal pressure produced during vomiting, as a result of neuromuscular incoordination causing failure of the cricopharyngeus muscle (a [[sphincter]] within the esophagus) to relax. The syndrome is commonly associated with the consumption of excessive food and/or alcohol.
-The most common anatomical location of the tear in Boerhaave syndrome is at  left posterolateral wall  of the lower third of the esophagus, 2-3 cm before the [[stomach]].<ref name="pmid17263979">{{cite journal |author=Korn O, Oñate JC, López R |title=Anatomy of the Boerhaave syndrome |journal=Surgery |volume=141 |issue=2 |pages=222–8 |year=2007 |pmid=17263979 |doi=10.1016/j.surg.2006.06.034}}</ref>
