| Abstract;This report is a case of esophageal perforation and mediastinitis by an ordinary uppe gastrointestinal endscopic study. A 61 year-old woman was pointed out abnormality of the body of stomach by group examination. She was examined by gastrointestinal endoscopic study on June 31th 1997. Since 1 hour after the study, she had pain at epigastric region, neck and back. By examination of computed tomography (CT), we diagnosed mediastinitis caused by perforation of esophagus. We treated by non-operative thearpy. She was inhibited from oral intake and movement under treatment of IVH and was taken antibiotics. So 1 week later, she had no symptom and diagnosed to have no infection of mediastinum and neck by CT. According to the literature, this is a very rare case of mediastinitis and perforation by ordinary gastrointestinal endoscopic study. Even if an ordinary gastrointestinal study happens to occur mediastinitis, conservative therapy is probably useful. (author abst.) |
