27 Esophageal Rupture
Time-Dependent Interventions
• Early diagnosis is important. Time is critical in decreasing morbidity and
mortality. If primary closure of the defect occurs within the rst 24 hours,
there is 80–90 % survival. If repair occurs greater than 24 hours after rupture,
survival falls below 50 % and may reach 30 %.
• Any patient with hemodynamic instability should be resuscitated, as would
any patient in shock.
Overall Principles ofTreatment
• Rapid resuscitation with intravenous uids, empiric broad-spectrum antibiotics, and appropriate management of complications such as pneumothorax or
hydropneumothorax should begin as appropriate, even if the diagnosis is not
certain.
• Early primary surgical repair of the defect is denitive treatment. Some contained cervical esophageal ruptures may be managed conservatively and
nonoperatively.
415
Disease Course
• Esophageal rupture may be rapidly fatal if not identied and treated early.
• Patients often present in extremis or have a rapidly progressive course.

Esophagitis
Incidence/Epidemiology
• Esophagitis has been implicated as the cause of chest pain in 20–60 % of
patients with chest pain not having an acute myocardial infarction.
Differential Diagnosis
• Esophagitis may cause acute chest pain, so the initial differential diagnostic
considerations include all the acute causes of chest pain.
• Once the esophagus is believed to be the source of the chest pain, the differential diagnosis may focus on the causes of acute esophagitis, including
inammatory and infectious esophagitis, each of which has multiple causes.

Pathophysiology andEtiology
• The nal common pathway of pathophysiology is inammation of the
esophageal mucosa. The pathologic changes may progress to include
inammation and ulceration of both the mucosal and muscular layers of
the esophagus. Both may lead to permanent scarring with strictures and
narrowing of the esophagus.
• This inammation may result from multiple insults:
• Inammatory:
• The best example is severe gastroesophageal reux leading to
inammation, ulceration, scarring, and strictures.
• “Pill” esophagitis results from pills remaining in contact with the
esophageal mucosa. The most common location for pills to get stuck
is at the level of the aortic arch, an anatomic narrow point in the
esophagus. This may occur with any medication, but the most commonly implicated are nonsteroidal drugs; potassium tablets; antibiotics, such as clindamycin, doxycycline, and tetracycline; and
bisphosphonates. Pill esophagitis usually causes dysphagia and odynophagia in addition to chest pain. Risk factors for the development
of pill esophagitis include poor pill-taking practices, such as incorrect head position and insufcient water intake with the medication;
swallowing of large tablets; and the extremes of age.
Pill-induced esophagitis. (a) Three days after ingestion of an unknown medication,
a small and a neighboring, large well-demarcated ulcer with intact surrounding
mucosa are noted at mid-esophagus. (b) Scar change of the ulcer after 2 months

• Eosinophilic esophagitis. Caused by sequestration and localization of eosinophils within the esophageal mucosa, leading to inammation and narrowing
of the esophageal lumen, with subsequent brosis and scarring. Usually
causes dysphagia and odynophagia, and is a common cause of esophageal
food impaction. Believed to be the result of an allergic response within the
esophageal mucosa.

• Corrosive esophagitis. Occurs after alkali (or less likely, acid) ingestion, with
initial inammation and ulceration and subsequent scarring and stricture
formation.
• Radiation esophagitis. A long-term sequela of mantle radiotherapy for
cancer.
• Infectious: Infectious esophagitis usually is associated with underlying immunosuppression (such as from HIV, cancer, severe diabetes). Diagnosing infectious esophagitis in an otherwise healthy patient should prompt a search for
underlying immunosuppression.
• Candida albicans is the most common cause.

Presentation
Typical/“Classic”
• Chest pain, often described as burning. There is no historical or examination feature
sensitive or specic enough to exclude cardiac causes of chest pain; therefore, a
cardiac workup should be performed before or during evaluation for esophagitis.

422
• Certain symptoms may be helpful if present:
• Odynophagia: pain with swallowing or pain exacerbated by swallowing
• Dysphagia: difculty swallowing. It may be described as a sensation of
food or liquid getting stuck.
C. V. Pollack, Jr. et al.
Atypical
• Any complaint of chest pain may be caused by esophagitis, so there is no typical or atypical presentation.
Primary Differential Considerations
Early in the evaluation of patients with symptoms of esophagitis, consider the following important differential diagnoses:
• Acute coronary syndrome
• Aortic dissection
• Acute pericarditis
• Pneumothorax
• Pleurisy
• Pneumonia
• Esophageal rupture
• Peptic ulcer disease
History andPhysical Exam
Findings That Conrm Diagnosis
• The only ndings that can completely conrm the diagnosis are typical ndings on esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD/endoscopy).
Factors That Suggest Diagnosis
• Chest pain associated with pain with swallowing (odynophagia) and/or difculties swallowing (dysphagia) strongly suggest the diagnosis.

28 Esophagitis
Factors That Exclude Diagnosis
• A normal EGD excludes esophagitis.
Ancillary Studies
Laboratory
• No laboratory studies are helpful in suggesting or conrming the diagnosis of
esophagitis. Laboratory studies may help exclude the diagnosis, e.g., positive
cardiac biomarkers in a patient with chest pain. Remember that esophagitis
may coexist with other diagnoses.
Imaging
• Plain chest x-ray usually is unremarkable.
• CT of the chest may demonstrate esophageal wall thickening, but this is often
an incidental nding during studies performed for other reasons, such as evaluation for pulmonary embolism. It also may suggest the diagnosis, but it does
not conrm the diagnosis.

Special Populations
Age
• Esophagitis may occur at any age. Certain diagnoses within the category may
have age predilections, such as eosinophilic esophagitis, which is more likely
in children and young adults.
• Clinical manifestations in children include:
• Emesis
• Feeding problems
• Dysphagia
• Abdominal pain
• Food impaction
• In the pediatric population, there is a denite association with other forms of
allergic disease (asthma, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, eczema)

Co-morbidities
• Common co-morbidities include obesity, diabetes, immunosuppression, alcohol abuse, and cigarette smoking.
Pitfalls inDiagnosis
Critical Steps Not toMiss
• Consideration of the diagnosis is important.
• However, it is more important to make sure the cause of chest pain is not a
more immediately life-threatening condition.
Mimics
• The entire constellation of diagnoses underlying chest pain syndrome can
mimic the pain and overall presentation of esophagitis.
• Esophagitis is more often considered a “mimic” of cardiac causes of chest pain.
Time-Dependent Interventions
• Check the ECG immediately for signs of acute myocardial ischemia.
Remember that a normal ECG does not exclude acute coronary syndrome!
• If the patient has signs of GI bleeding, initiate stabilization and resuscitation
immediately.
Overall Principles ofTreatment
• Treatment depends on identifying the underlying cause of the esophagitis.
• Inammatory causes of esophagitis often improve with acid suppression, usually from proton-pump inhibitors.
• Infectious causes need to be treated with the appropriate anti-infective agents.
• Eosinophilic esophagitis may be treated with elimination diets for removal of
putative causative agents or with topical or systemic corticosteroids.
• The use of acid suppression with proton-pump inhibitors is prescribed nearly
universally for all causes of esophagitis.
