Tension pneumothorax following esophageal rupture is very rare. We report a case in which a perforated Barrett's esophagus rapidly developed a spontaneous tension pyopneumothorax. The mechanism for the tension remains obscure. Knowing that a tension pneumothorax can occur with esophageal rupture can help prevent misdiagnosis.
食管破裂后发生张力性气胸非常罕见。我们报告一例穿孔性巴雷特食管迅速发展为自发性张力性脓气胸的病例。其形成张力的机制尚不清楚。了解食管破裂可能并发张力性气胸有助于防止误诊。
