title: [Spontaneous perforation of the esophagus: Boerhaave's syndrome. Analysis of a case].
abstract: We describe a case of spontaneous perforation of the esophagus (PEE) that was satisfactorily treated by thoracotomy, primary closure and reinforcement of the suture with a gastric fundal patch (Thal plasty). Emphasis is placed on the need to establish an early diagnosis and the essential points of treatment to obtain a favorable outcome.
