Abstract

A case of congenital bronchoesophageal fistula was reported with an updated review of the literatures. Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula may persist into adult life causing chronic cough or choking on swallowing or can be an uncommon source of chronic bronchopulmonary sepsis. Diagnosis is relatively easy and operative treatment is very successful. This anomaly should be considered when there are typical symptoms or chronic pulmonary sepsis.
