Abstract
A case of spontaneous perforation of the cervical oesophagus is presented. It appears to be the tenth such case in the world medical literature, and the first to be reported from the Southern Hemisphere. The need for awareness of this pathologic entity is stressed, and cold water polydipsia is suggested as a diagnostic marker.
