Abstract

Tracheal injury associated with esophageal injury due to fish bone is very rare. Also, treatment of mediastinitis due to esophageal perforation when it is diagnosed late remains controversial. We report the case that we have successfully experienced treatment of mediastinitis due to tracheal and esophageal injury by fish bone.
