Historical Perspective
Boerhaave syndrome was first described in 1724 by the physician Herman Boerhaave, after whom it is named. Dr. Herman Boerhaave (1668-1738) described esophageal rupture and the subsequent mediastinal sepsis based upon his careful clinical and autopsy findings. Hundreds of references have since been written about Boerhaave's syndrome.[1][2]
