Oesophageal perforation is a severe life-threatening clinical condition with high mortality and morbidity needing rapid interdisciplinary approach to be effectively managed. Recently, on the basis of multicentric retrospective data, we proposed a decision tree for the treatment of oesophageal perforations based on the Pittsburgh Perforation Severity Score (PSS). We now report the first case of a traumatic oesophageal perforation, which was successfully treated according to the application of the PSS decision tree.
食管穿孔是一种严重的危及生命的临床情况，死亡率和发病率都很高，需要迅速采取多学科方法进行有效治疗。最近，我们基于多中心回顾性数据，提出了一种基于匹兹堡穿孔严重程度评分（PSS）的食管穿孔治疗决策树。我们现在报告首例外伤性食管穿孔病例，该病例根据 PSS 决策树的应用成功得到治疗。
