Kauvery Hospital, Salem successfully performs treatment for Boerhaave Syndrome
Kauvery Hospital, Salem, which is part of a leading multi-specialty healthcare chain in Tamil Nadu, successfully performs treatment for ''Boerhaave Syndrome''
A 65-year-old patient with chest pain, vomiting, and sweating was admitted to Kauvery Hospital, Salem three months ago. Despite tests for cardiac disease, all results were negative, and a cardiologist examined him, ruled out the possibility of cardiac disease.
The patient was then seen by a gastro-enterologist, when it was found that he experienced chest pain and sweating after he forcibly tried to vomit. These are classic symptoms of a tear in the oesophagus, and we immediately did a CT scan with contrast dye, which confirmed the tear in the lower part of the oesophagus, possibly due to internal pressure (Boerhaave Syndrome).
