    A 64-year-old female underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (cT1N0M0). During follow-up a stricture developed, managed with sequential balloon dilation. We also identified two metachronic lesions for which a second ESD was performed immediately after dilatation of the esophageal stricture.

    The patient developed postoperative abdominal pain. Chest X-ray revealed a pneumoperitoneum. A linear perforation of 2cm in the lesser curvature of the gastric upper body was successfully closed using six hemoclips.

    Insufflation-induced gastric barotrauma is exceptionally rare. Air trapping by tight apposition of the endoscope at the proximal esophageal stricture is the most likely causative mechanism.
