RESUMO
La esofagitis enfisematosa es una entidad extremadamente infrecuente sin prácticamente ningún caso descrito en la literatura. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con esofagitis y gastritis enfisematosa con afectación de toda la pared del esófago y el estómago al diagnóstico. Fue intervenida quirúrgicamente por perforación gástrica en dos ocasiones, realizándose cierre primario en ambas con evolución posterior favorable. Pese a la gran extensión de la esófago-gastritis enfisematosa al diagnóstico y la presencia de una perforación gástrica, es seguro realizar un manejo semejante a la gastritis enfisematosa siendo lo más conservadores posibles en caso de precisar cirugía
Emphysematous esophagitis is an extremely rare disease and there are very few previous reports in the literature. We report a case of emphysematous esophagitis and gastritis with complete affectation of the gastric and esophageal wall at diagnosis. Two surgical interventions were performed due to gastric perforation that was treated in both cases with primary closure. The post-operative recovery was satisfactory. Despite the large emphysematous esophago-gastritis affectation at diagnosis and the presence of gastric perforation, it is safe to perform the same management principles as with emphysematous gastritis. This should be as conservative as possible in case a surgical procedure is required
