Core Tip	We report a case of esophageal perforation complicated by mediastinitis. Our report demonstrates the clinical course of a rare, yet deadly complication of radiofrequency ablation, with unique endoscopic findings. We believe that this report and brief review of the literature will serve an important reminder of this complication and its consequences, requiring a high index of suspicion for early diagnosis and treatment. Our report also serves as a reminder that a unified approach to treatment has yet to be established.
