ABSTRACT
Oesophagus perforation, despite an often-loud symptomatology, is lately diagnosed. A similar course is illustrated by the observation of a patient who presented a Candida albicans-induced empyema. The oesophagus rupture was diagnosed by thoracoscopy made because of extensive hydropneumothorax on the thoracic CT 3 days after ablation of the thoracic drain. Temporary oesophagus exclusion and pleural drainage in close proximity of the perforation were performed. A nosocomial pneumonia complicated the development but the patient could endly issue from ICU. This mode of revelation was unusual and the authors recommend thinking of the diagnosis of oesophagus rupture when a patient is admitted for a candidosis empyema.
