摘　　要：Boerhaave's syndrome is spontaneous rupture of the esophagus,a rare condition with high mortality that occurs most often after forceful vomiting.Polyethylene glycol(PEG) solution is the most common preparation used for colonoscopy.Since large volumes have to be ingested,PEG may induce severe vomiting or retching.However,Boerhaave's syndrome has rarely been reported as a potential problem related to PEG solution.We report a case of spontaneous esophageal rupture due to violent vomiting during bowel preparation with PEG solution in a patient with postpolypectomy bleeding.Boerhaave’s syndrome is spontaneous rupture of the esophagus,a rare condition with high mortality that occurs most often after forceful vomiting.Polyethylene glycol(PEG) solution is the most common preparation used for colonoscopy.Since large volumes have to be ingested,PEG may induce severe vomiting or retching.However,Boerhaave’s syndrome has rarely been reported as a potential problem related to PEG solution.We report a case of spontaneous esophageal rupture due to violent vomiting during bowel preparation with PEG solution in a patient with postpolypectomy bleeding.
