Clinical Presentation: Patients may report pain localized to the chest/midepigastrum or shoulder; abdominal pain, nausea, dysphagia, dyspnea, and/or fever. Evaluation and Treatment: 2,3 Assess the ABCs and obtain VS. [emdocs.net]

The increasing use of imaging technology in the evaluation of patients with acute chest or abdominal pain in most emergency rooms, in particular CT scans, often leads to previously unexpected findings suggestive of esophageal perforation. [clinicaladvisor.com]

An acute abdominal pain appeared on the 6th p.o.d. Abdominal palpation revealed tenderness and guarding. A CT scan showed a mediastinal abscess, a right pleural effusion associated with a pneumoperitoneum and peritoneal effusion. [ejcts.oxfordjournals.org]

He did well on follow-up 3 months after hospitalization.The case highlights the importance of considering esophageal etiologies of chest pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Depending on the time elapsed from the injury and degree of cavitary contamination, signs of systemic inflammatory response, overt sepsis, or shock (tachycardia, tachypnea, hypotension, fever etc.) may appear. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Patients may also present with odynophagia, dyspnea, tachypnea, cyanosis, tachycardia, fever, and hypotension which may develop within hours of the perforation. [journals.lww.com]

In contrast, thoracic esophageal perforation results in rapid mediastinal contamination and often violation of the mediastinal pleura, which initiates a powerful, cytokine-mediated fluid sequestration, mediastinitis, sepsis and hypotension. [link.springer.com]
