Actinobacillus lignieresii infection after a horse bite. Perforation is the most serious complication of fibreoptic endoscopy.1
The commonest site of perforation during upper gastrointestinal
endoscopy is the oesophagus,' but predisposing factors have not been
fully documented. We report a retrospective survey of major endoscopy
units in the United Kingdom and attempt to identify the factors associated with oesophageal perforation.
