Abstract

             We described a case of congenital bronchobiliary fistula who had successfully been treated in the early age and reviewed 22 previously reported cases of this anomaly. This condition is a rare cause of respiratory distress in newborn infants and should be included in the differential diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia.
