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].
