Boerhaave Syndrome Mimicking Acute Coronary Syndrome
ACG CASE REPORTS JOURNAL(2024)
摘要
Boerhaave syndrome, an esophageal perforation due to increased intraesophageal pressure, may mimic other cardiovascular conditions including acute coronary syndrome. In this report, we present a case of a 63-year-old man who presented with chest pain and ischemic electrocardiogram abnormalities, prompting an initial diagnosis of ST elevation myocardial infarction. After coronary stenting, the patient continued to have chest pain, ST segment elevations, and newly elevated cardiac enzymes. A computed tomography scan showed esophageal perforation, requiring endoscopic stenting. This case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of Boerhaave syndrome and the importance of considering this condition in adults with chest pain and ischemic electrocardiogram changes.
