Contrast esophagram usually establishes the diagnosis of an esophageal perforation the location and extent of perforation. The accuracy of the test depends on the size and location of the perforation and the technique used for the study. Gastrografin a water-soluble contrast is used for the esophagram procedure. If the Gastrografin esophagram is inconclusive, a barium esophagram should be performed. Gastrografin is preferred over the barium esophagram to prevent barium induced inflammatory response in mediastinum and pleural space, whereas barium esophagram is very efficient in picking the small perforations.
