Esophageal perforation, regardless of the etiology, is a catastrophic event. The importances of early diagnosis and an aggressive surgical approach in the management of such a potentially lethal situation are stressed, in fact the mortality rate is directly related to the interval between perforation and initiation of treatment. We experienced a rare case of esophageal rupture caused by compressed air which produce a rupture of the colon not infrequently, which was treated successfully by an aggressive surgical approach consisting of closure of the perforation and adequate drainage.
