Overview

The diagnosis of esophageal perforationshould be confirmed by water-soluble contrast esophagram (Gastrograffin), which reveals the location and extent of extravasation of contrast material. If the water-soluble study is negative, a barium study should be performed.

Other Imaging Findings

  • The diagnosis of esophageal perforation should be confirmed by water-soluble contrast esophagram (Gastrograffin), which reveals the location and extent of extravasation of contrast material. If the water-soluble study is negative, a barium study should be performed for better definition.[1][2]
  • Barium esophagram can detect 60% of cervical perforations and 90% of intrathoracic perforations.[3]
  • Endoscopy can identify the location of the esophageal defect and confirm the extra-luminal disease or to rule out the diagnosis.[4]
