Abstract :

 

Boerhaave syndrome is a relatively rare cause of lower esophageal perforation post severe vomiting against a closed glottis, associated with high mortality and morbidity. The universally accepted protocol is to attempt primary closure if the patient presents within 24 hrs and to manage the patient conservatively upon delayed presentation. We here present our experiences in a patient managed successfully with delayed primary closure after 1 week.
