Resumo
We describe the case of a 41 year-old female patient with acute thoracic and epigastric pain associated with dysphagia. Due to the acute onset and the intensity of symptoms an urgent gastroscopy was requested. This was delayed and only performed when further serious complications appeared. This showed an oesophageal perforation due to ingestion of a fish bone, and an aortic pseudoaneurysm. Early determination of the cause and the extraction of fish bone would have avoided the subsequent worsening and long term stay in the hospital. Special tests limitations often delay diagnosis with severe consequences for the patients.
