ABSTRACT
We recently experienced a case of an elderly patient with mediastinal abscess, which is a rare complication of esophageal perforation, in whom dyspnea, chest pain and odynophagia were main clinical symptoms after eating cooked fish. During evaluation, upper mediastinal widening, with air-fluid level, and eaophageal perforation plugged with pus were detected by chest X-ray films and endoscopic examinatien. After draining of pus(about 300 cc) through the perforation site by careful manipulation of endoscope, inner wall of abacess cavity communicating with esophagus could be observed through esophago-mediastinal fistula. For further management, drainage procedure of mediastinal abscess, esophageal diversion and feeding gastrostomy were done.
