“…Non‐accidental injury should be considered as a possibility when this is encountered in clinical practice, particularly in neonates and infants . Non‐accidental injury is the commonest reported cause of this condition after exclusion of iatrogenia (from suctioning, intubation, nasogastric tube insertion) and external trauma . Accidental pharyngeal injuries described in the paediatric population are largely confined to children over 1 year old .…”

All clinicians should be familiar with the signs of child maltreatment. Pharyngeal injuries, or injuries to the external ear, presenting in young children without an explicit history of witnessed injury should prompt a child protection referral for full evaluation. Likewise, children who present with recurrent, or apparently intractable symptoms and signs despite appropriate treatment, should raise the possibility of fabricated or induced illness, and discussion with a child protection specialist is advised. Early recognition of possible child maltreatment and instigation of appropriate safeguarding measures are essential to prevent repetition and escalation of injury. This is of paramount importance to otolaryngologists, who have the potential to identify these children in their practice.

“…The timing of diagnosis, the amount of leakage by contrast study, and the presence of systemic symptoms are also important considerations [6]. The literature supports an 80% success rate of nonoperative treatment when these factors are considered [6,[19][20][21].…”

“…Although a spontaneous perforation of the newborn is described [3], they are invariably iatrogenic as a consequence of modern neonatal resuscitation. This may be caused by endotracheal intubation [4], nasogastric tube insertion [5], and pharyngeal suctioning [6]. In older children, where the cause is known, all cases are either iatrogenic or secondary to trauma.…”
