[Seromuscularis rupture of the oesophagus after vomiting: a rare cause of hemothorax].
We report a case of seromuscularis rupture of the oesophagus occurring after an episode of vomiting and revealed by a left hemothorax. Diagnosis was established at thoracoscopy and was related to the nosologic setting of post-emetic syndromes. All unusual pleuropulmonary symptoms after vomiting must make evoke this diagnostic hypothesis.
