RESUMO
Two cases of spontaneous intramural perforation of the oesophagus are described. In both, the area of dissection was extensive. The former recovered without operation; the latter required right thoracotomy and mediastinal and bilateral pleural drainage. Functionally, both have subjectively normal swallowing, but with fluoroscopic and manometric depression of peristalsis.
