Abstract

Upper gastrointestinal perforations are usually iatrogenic following luminal scopies while investigating patients. Barotrauma is a rare cause of such perforations. Early clinical diagnosis and surgical intervention results in favourable outcome. Here we document a rare case of oesophageal perforation following barotrauma.
