[Esophageal perforation during nasogastric tube insertion in a patient with right-sided aortic arch and thoracic aorta. Pathophysiology and surgical implications].
Esophageal perforation during nasogastric tube insertion is a very unusual occurrence. In this case report, radiologic images revealed a right-sided aortic arch with a right-sided thoracic aorta. This anatomical anomaly probably contributed to the complication and necessitated a modified approach to the surgical repair.
