Traumatic esophageal rupture: unusual cause of acute mediastinal widening.

M P Carter1, R F Long, R A Pellegrini, R A Wynn.   

Abstract

We have presented the case of a 32-year-old man who sustained blunt trauma to the chest in a motor vehicle accident. Plain roentgenograms showed a widened mediastinum and pneumomediastinum, and an esophagogram with water-soluble contrast material showed an esophageal laceration at the T-4 level.
