Congenital Esophagobronchial Fistula in an Adult—A Case Report
1995
A 58-year-old man presented with cough, mainly while taking food, of recent origin. On investigation this proved to be the result of a fistulous communication between the esophagus and the right lower bronchus. Surgical treatment effected disappearance of the symptoms; and the congenital nature of the fistula was proven histopathologically. A high index of suspicion in all cases of recurrent cough at the time of deglutition is required to recognize this rare entity.
