2021, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :High-velocity automobile accidents crush injuries and endoscopic interventions share a major etiological proportion for traumatic esophageal perforation while other modes are uncommon precedence. Within the esophageal tube, most of the perforations occur along the cervical esophagus, followed by the distal esophagus [1–4]. Indeed, Gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) perforation combined with gastric perforation is a rare occurrence following blunt trauma presumably because of their low mobility within the abdominal cavity.
