When there is a hole in the esophagus, the contents of the esophagus can pass into the surrounding area in the chest (mediastinum). This often results in infection of the mediastinum (mediastinitis). The most common cause of an esophageal perforation is injury during a medical procedure.
The most common cause of esophageal perforation is injury to the esophagus during another medical procedure. Any medical instrument used in a diagnostic or treatment procedure can potentially perforate the esophagus.

“Odynophagia” is the medical term for painful swallowing. Pain can be felt in your mouth, throat, or esophagus. You may experience painful swallowing when drinking or eating food. Sometimes swallowing difficulties, known as dysphagia, can accompany the pain, but odynophagia is often a condition of its own.
Gastrointestinal perforation (GP) occurs when a hole forms all the way through the stomach, large bowel, or small intestine. It can be due to a number of different diseases, including appendicitis and diverticulitis. It can also be the result of trauma, such as a knife wound or gunshot wound.
Abstract. Spontaneous transmural esophageal perforation is a rare condition with high morbidity and mortality. It is traditionally associated with alcohol abuse. Experience of the syndrome at a large medical center in Israel, a country where alcohol is not a national problem, is reviewed, and eight cases are described.
Diagnosis of esophageal rupture is confirmed by esophagography with a water-soluble contrast agent, which avoids potential mediastinal irritation from barium. CT of the thorax detects mediastinal air and fluid but does not localize the perforation well. Endoscopy may miss a small perforation.
Pain, fever, dyspnea, and tachycardia are early symptoms of esophageal perforation after dilation for an esophageal stricture. Clinical findings include pneumomediastinum, pleural effusion, subcutaneous emphysema, and pneumothorax.
The mid esophagus lies next to the right pleura while the lower esophagus abuts the left pleura. Once a perforation occurs, saliva, retained gastric contents, bile and acid enter the mediastinum, resulting in mediastinitis, pneumomediastinum and pleural collections.
K22.3 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of perforation of esophagus. The code K22.3 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The most common problem with the esophagus is GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). With GERD , a muscle at the end of your esophagus does not close properly.
