title: Boerhaave's syndrome in a tracheoesophageal speaker: report of a case.
abstract: Boerhaave's syndrome is still associated with a high mortality rate and remains a therapeutic challenge. Pharyngo-laryngo-esophagectomy is performed as the standard treatment for advanced hypopharyngeal cancer and tracheoesophageal speech is an option for esophageal speech rehabilitation. We report what, to our knowledge, is the first case of Boerhaave's syndrome developing in a tracheoesophageal speaker.
