A 74-year-old female patient on anticoagulant therapy due to recurrent deep vein thromboses reported postprandial epigastric pain that worsened after an episode of vomiting that was associated with dyspnea and chest pain. Chest radiograph (Fig. 1) showed pneumomediastinum that extended to the cervical region and left hydropneumothorax. CT scan confirmed the presence of extraluminal air near the esophagus (Fig. 2). The patient underwent primary repair of an esophageal perforation, followed by good patient progress.
