Article Synopsis
- Pharyngoesophageal perforation from barotrauma is rare but can lead to serious complications if not diagnosed early, as its symptoms are often nonspecific.
- A case study of a 27-year-old mechanic with symptoms after a tire explosion illustrates the difficulties in detection, initially misleading doctors before a CT scan revealed a critical injury requiring intervention.
- Timely management is essential; while non-surgical treatments can be effective, clinicians must be vigilant in conducting further imaging tests in cases of barotrauma to properly rule out perforations.
