RESUMEN

Spontaneous rupture of the oesophagus (Boerhaave syndrome) is a rare acute condition. Successful treatment of this life threatening condition depends on early diagnosis, the patient's general condition and subsequent treatment. The authors describe two cases of successful treatment of patients with primarily unrecognized spontaneous perforation of the oesophagus.
