INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Spontaneous esophageal rupture is a life-threatening condition caused by a sudden increase in the intraesophageal pressure. While surgery is the mainstay of management for spontaneous esophageal ruptures, in recent years, an increasing number of patients have been managed with endoscopic interventions. We report a case of spontaneous esophageal rupture managed with endoscopic closure using an over-the-scope clip (Ovesco Endoscopy AG, Tübingen, Germany).
CASE PRESENTATION: A 68-year-old female presented with epigastric pain and left-sided back pain following vomiting. A computed tomography scan revealed mediastinal emphysema and an esophagogram showed leakage from the left side of the lower thoracic esophagus into the mediastinum. The patient was diagnosed with spontaneous esophageal rupture localized to the mediastinum and was treated conservatively. However, she had persistent fever and continuing esophageal leakage on the esophagogram. On the 12th day of admission, a gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed, which found a 10-mm full-thickness longitudinal laceration on the left side of the lower esophagus. Endoscopic closure using an over-the-scope clip was performed. The next day, the patient became afebrile. One week later, esophagogram revealed slight residual leakage and an additional endoscopic closure using an over-the-scope clip was performed; the patient subsequently had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the 44th day of admission.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Endoscopic closure using an over-the-scope clip led to a good outcome in this patient with spontaneous esophageal rupture.
CONCLUSION: Endoscopic closure using an over-the-scope clip is an effective and minimally invasive technique for selected patients with spontaneous esophageal rupture.
