ABSTRACT
Spontaneous esophageal perforation(Boerhaave's syndrome) is rare but associated mortality and morbidity are high and causes death in the absence of therapy. The diagnosis of Boerhaave's syndrome is very difficult, as a result, the delay significantly increases the complication rates. We experienced that a 54 year old man was treated by using successfully the flexible covered esophageal stent because of a very long delay diagnosis of esophageal perforation. He was discharged 3 days after the esophageal stent insertion. The post-stent insertion was an uncomplicated course and remained well on opd follow up.
