title: [Rupture of the aorta secondary to perforation of the esophagus by a foreign body].
abstract: A case of traumatic rupture of the aorta due to a foreign body in the esophagus is presented. After extraction of the foreign body and chemotherapy there was a rapid recovery. Thereafter, the patient died from a recurrent hematemesis. Two factors have produced the aortic lesion: the sharp edge of the foreign body (which probably provoked a superficial lesion of the aortic wall), and the diffuse mediastinitis (which provoked a necrosis of the aortic lesion).
