ABSTRACT

This case series highlights diverse etiologies and management strategies for esophageal perforation through three illustrative cases: Foreign body ingestion, achalasia cardia, and iatrogenic perforation. Data were retrospectively reviewed, including patient history, diagnostic findings, treatments, and outcomes. Each case was managed differently, based on the patient’s presentation, disease severity, and long-term needs. Esophageal perforation requires prompt diagnosis and individualization to address its varied etiologies and prevent complications. This series emphasizes the critical role of timely intervention in achieving favorable outcomes.
