[Boerhaave syndrome in pyloric hyperplasia].
Boerhaave's-syndrome is a rare illness, usually caused when sudden intense vomiting leads to a spontaneous rupture of the healthy esophagus. Alcoholism and neurological diseases are considered to be the main predisposing factors. Because the complaint is so rare the casuistic of Boerhaave's-syndrome is described in connection with pyloric stenosis. In order to confirm the diagnosis the following practice is recommended: During gastrografin swallowing the pylorus should be examined in order to remedy the possible cause of the complaint when the operative therapy is carried out.
