Overview
Very useful initial diagnostic test and is abnormal in most patients with perforation which shows: unilateral effusion usually on the left, pneumothorax, hydropneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, mediastinal widening.
Chest X Ray
Erect Radiograph chest posteroanterior view 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 retrocardiac region in the V shape.[1]
In most patients with Boerhaave syndrome chest x-ray shows:[2][1]
- One-sided effusion (usually on the left)
- Pneumothorax
- Hydropneumothorax
- Pneumomediastinum
- Subcutaneous emphysema
- Mediastinal widening
