According to Wenglowski, esophageal ruptures usually occur quite unexpectedly, in the midst of complete health, due to some external influence, or for no apparent reason at all. But so far we do not have a classification covering all possible cases of traumatic esophageal injuries, probably due to a very limited number of published cases. This report is based on a case of esophageal gas rupture, which is of considerable interest both because of its rarity and because of the setting in which the injury occurred.
