Pneumomediastinum following esophageal perforation is a known complication of Eder Puestow dilation for esophageal stenosis. This is the first reported case of esophageal perforation and pneumomediastinum occurring after instrumental self-dilation of a stenotic esophageal lesion. The observed 0.02 percent perforation rate in this patient (compared to the reported 0.3 percent in Eder Puestow "hetero"-dilation) makes the Eder Puestow auto-dilation procedure seem justifiable in a well-trained and well-informed patient.
