Abstract
A rare case of spontaneous rupture of the middle oesophagus is reported. The patient was a previously healthy 20-year-old woman. The oesophagus was ruptured by eating hot soup. The rupture was diagnosed and repaired about 52 hours after the mishap. However, the patient recovered uneventfully and the postoperative oesophagoscopy and oesophagography findings 2 months and 6 months after the rupture were normal.
