Abstract

Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula without esophageal atresia is very rare and often has an insidious clinical course that occaisionally persists into adult life. A 54-year-old female patient presented at our emergency room with a complaint of hemoptysis and dyspnea. Esophagogram revealed a fistula tract between mid-low esophagus and right superior segmental brochus of lower lobe. Fistulectomy was performed without problem. The postoperative course was uneventful.
