Abstract : Case Report.FONT> Patient one.B>I> A 9-year-old boy presented with a 5 day history of progressive aggravation of dysphagia, retrosternal pain, and signs of sepsis. The symptoms started after ingestion of a large chicken meal leading to acute symptoms of foreign body retention. Before admission, the patient had sought multiple consultations without any specific management or relief. On admission, workup confirmed the presence of a severe septic status and computed tomography (CT) scan revealed the presence of a collection quite close to the esophageal wall (Figure 1). During a right lateral thoracotomy, the collection was found in the esophageal wall, and an incision-drainage was made. The exploration, however, did not show any foreign body or perforation of the esophageal mucosal membrane. The postoperative course was significant for a complete consolidation of the right lower lobe with a small pleural effusion. Three days later, his clinical status and chest x-ray (CXR) picture continued to deteriorate. An esogastrointestinal follow through study was performed and confirmed the presence of a large esophageal perforation (Figure 2).P>
