Esophageal Disorders Caused by Medications, Trauma, and Infection

2004, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The rupture usually involves the left wall of the supradiaphragmatic esophagus, dissects all esophageal layers in a longitudinal manner, and frequently drains into the left pleural or peritoneal cavity [35]. Erosion by primary or metastatic esophageal carcinoma [36], Barrett's ulcers [37], surrounding infection [38], or immunodeficiency [39] can also cause esophageal perforation. The cause and location of the injury, as well as the interval between perforation and diagnosis, determine the clinical features of esophageal perforation.
Infectious necrotizing esophagitis: Outcome after medical and surgical intervention
2003, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Tissue from resection or autopsy was available in all 5, and there was no evidence of leukemia. Mycobacterial perforation of the esophagus results commonly from erosion of necrotic lymph nodes into the esophageal lumen and rarely from a mucosal ulcer [11, 27–29]. De Silva and colleagues [11] reported esophageal perforations in 5 patients with typical and 1 with atypical mycobacterial infections; mediastinal adenopathy was present in 4 and led to their exclusion from this review.
Distal esophageal perforation caused by tuberculosis
2001, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Scarring and retraction associated with mediastinal tuberculosis can cause traction diverticula of the midesophagus. To our knowledge, this case represents only the fifth case of perforation of the esophagus caused by tuberculosis and the first case of distal perforation.4-7 Newman and associates2 reviewed the 27 cases of esophageal tuberculosis in the literature through 1990 and found that more than 75% of patients had a primary complaint of chronic dysphagia.2
