Abstract
We present the case of a 53 year old male, who presented with oesophageal perforation that occurred post a choking on a food bolus with bone. Initially, it was misdiagnosed to be a cardio-respiratory event. On day 2 post presentation, it was confirmed to be a lower oesophageal perforation, with minimal contamination which was managed non-operatively. A case report and review of the literature is presented. This case report highlights the importance of having a high degree of suspicion for oesophageal perforations.
