58 [Case Report] Esophageal Perforation Caused by Blunt Trauma A Case Report Shu-Ya Tang 1, Ya-Chi Cheng 2, An-Ting Lee 2, and Hsien-Chin Tang 2 A 40-year-old male animal husbandry technician was hit on the chest wall by a pig weighted approximately 100 kilograms. Intermittent epigastric pain had been noted since the accident for days. Pain was aggravated after food intake and accompanied with mild dyspnea. After abdominal computed tomography and upper gastrointestinal series, esophageal rupture was highly suspected and operation was performed. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan help reduce the complications and mortality of esophageal perforation. However, because of the initital presentation of nonspecific symptoms, early diagnosis of esophageal perforation is usually difficult. Esophageal perforation caused by non-iatrogenic blunt trauma is rare. We further discussed the mechanism, diagnosis and treatment of esophageal perforation caused by blunt trauma according to the case report and literature reviewed.
