- It also may be classified according to the time of presentations into three groups of acute, subacute and chronic perforation.
Classification
Boerhaave syndrome may be classified according to location into three groups:[1][2][3]
- Distal intrathoracic esophageal perforation
- Intra-abdominal esophageal perforation
- Cervical esophageal perforation
Also Boerhaave syndrome may be classified according to the time of presentations:[4]
- Acute perforation: presents with symptoms within twenty-four hours after rupture.
- Subacute perforation: symptoms develop between twenty four hours to two weeks following perforation
- Chronic perforation: the onset of symptoms is more insidious, often delaying presentation and diagnosis for weeks to months after rupture
