Résumé
A 14-year-old male was admitted to the Emergency Department with sore throat and cough. One hour after his admission, he presented a hemodynamic compromise with a respiratory failure. The thoracic tomodensitometry highlighted a tension bilateral pneumothorax and mediastinum consecutive to an esophageal rupture in the left posterolateral wall also known as Boerhaave's syndrome which was treated successfully with a non-operative management. To avoid a recurrence of bilateral pneumothorax, a left pleuroscopy with talc pleurodesis was performed.
