Title:Chronic Presentation of Boerhaave's Syndrome
Version: 1Date:25 August 2009
Reviewer: Owen Korn
Reviewer's report:
The paper is interesting for the rarity of this type of clinical presentation.
However the authors in the discussion refer particularly to acute Boerhaave,
which is not the subject of the case report. In my opinion they should include:
a) A commentary and explanation concerning the evolution of this particular case
b) To review the literature looking for similar cases, and trying to establish some
common features in these chronic patients with a Boerhaave Syndrome
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
