A and B: CT scan of the abdomen revealing free intra-abdominal air (A, black arrows) and massive mediastinal (A, white arrows) and retroperitoneal (B, white arrows) air. ¹Depicts the tumor localization at the GE junction; C: Water-soluble contrast medium swallowed after GE reconstruction (end-to-side esophago-gastrostomy) without evidence of anastomotic stenosis or leakage. The circle (arrow) points to the level of the anastomosis.
