Abstract

A tracheoesophageal fistula following blunt chest trauma is rare, with only slightly more than 40 cases having been reported since 1936. With the increased incidence of blunt chest trauma from traffic accidents, it may be anticipated that this complication will be seen more frequently in the future. This report describes successfully managed two cases with such lesion. The pathophysiology and management of such lesion are discussed with a review of the literatures.
