Esophageal perforation is a rare though potentially lethal complication of variceal sclerotherapy. Diagnosis is usually made after recognition of often subtle clinical symptoms. Surgical and nonsurgical modalities have been proposed, and nonoperative management can be successful even in patients thought to have absolute indications for surgery.
食管穿孔是静脉曲张硬化治疗中一种罕见但可能致命的并发症。诊断通常在识别出往往较为隐匿的临床症状后做出。已经提出了手术和非手术治疗方式，即使在被认为有绝对手术指征的患者中，非手术治疗也可能成功。
