A rare sequelae of esophageal perforation: Fibrosing mediastinitis

Fibrosing mediastinitis (FM) is a rare disease caused by different causes. If left untreated, the prognosis is poor. The common causes of FM are Tuberculosis and Histoplasma capsulatum infection. Esophageal perforation is also a rare condition that is often easily under- and mis-diagnosed due to the lack of specificity of symptoms. Here we report a case of FM caused by esophageal perforation.
