Acute chest pain is one of the biggest challenges in diagnostic and therapeutic terms due to a number of differential diagnostic options. Boerhaave syndrome is a rare condition, but at the same time one of the most lethal diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. For this reason, a high level of suspicion is required in patients with presenting retrosternal pain. Classic symptoms such as vomiting, chest pain, and subcutaneous emphysema may not always be present. The approach to the patient with Boerhaave syndrome is multidisciplinary. The patient needs urgent rehydration, antibiotic treatment and consultation with a surgery specialist. Treatment is based on the clinical picture of the patient, the location and size of the perforation, but the most important prognostic factor is the time of diagnosis. There are still no official guidelines for the treatment of this condition, and knowledge of treatment options is based on individual case reports from the literature.

“…Las imágenes son de gran importancia para diagnosticar el síndrome de Boerhaave. Si bien la radiografía de tórax está disponible, es normal en aproximadamente el 15% de los casos y no puede utilizarse para excluir el diagnóstico (10). Los posibles hallazgos de la radiografía de tórax incluyen enfisema subcutáneo o mediastínico, ensanchamiento mediastínico, derrame pleural y, en el 20% de los casos, el "signo V" (racha radiolúcida de aire que disecciona los planos fasciales retro cardíacos) (5,7,10).…”

El síndrome de Boerhaave consiste en una ruptura esofágica longitudinal transmural espontánea de difícil diagnóstico con una alta mortalidad. El “gold standard” para el manejo se basa en la cirugía abierta por toracotomía, sin embargo; las terapias mínimamente invasivas han demostrado mejores resultados postoperatorios con una respectiva mejora en la morbimortalidad. Aun así, por la baja incidencia, su estudio es complejo y es necesario mayor evidencia para el manejo óptimo de la enfermedad con recomendaciones establecidas.
