Overview
- Endoscopy is an important tool for evaluating patients with suspected esophageal perforation, particularly following instrumentation, or related to noniatrogenic trauma [103,104].
- Endoscopy allows direct inspection of the perforation and, in some cases, a therapeutic option.
- Endoscopy may show local erythema or spasm and essentially excludes the presence of the mucosal lesion.
- The disadvantage is the potential for causing a perforation with instrumentation.
- CT is obtained first because of its sensitivity and wide availability [105].
