The diagnosis, differential diagnosis and possibilities for treatment of Boerhaave's syndrome are discussed in detail on the basis of a case report. Suggestions for the early detection of this very rare, life-threatening disturbance, and thus for a decisive improvement in the prognosis of this condition, are made.
