A case of death due to spontaneous rupture of the oesophagus is reported. Few similar cases have been previously reported. In some the oesophageal wall had been weakened by previous ulceration or scarring. In this case there was no history or postmortem evidence of such damage. Under certain circumstances postmortem rupture of the oesophagus could occur and should be distinguished from antemortem rupture.
报告了一例因食管自发性破裂致死的病例。此前鲜有类似病例报道。在一些病例中，食管壁因先前的溃疡或瘢痕形成而变薄弱。在本病例中，并无此类损伤的病史或尸检证据。在某些情况下，食管可能会在死后破裂，应与生前破裂相区分。
