Abstract

An 18-year-old acrobat suffered esophageal perforation during sword swallowing. Preoperative CT showed pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema, but no perforation location. A novel endoscopic technique using a clear cap and air/water shutoff successfully localized a 1.0 cm posterior esophageal perforation without active bleeding, enabling successful surgery and patient survival.

期刊介绍： Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
