Abstract
|
|
|
Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula associated esophageal atresia usually presents in
the newborn period or infancy but those without esophageal atresia are more insidious
in disease process. Symptoms which include cough, hemoptysis, choking on swallowing
liquids, uncommonly dysphagia, and epigastric discomfort may not begin until adult life.
Most of the cases are curative unless there are serious underlying conditions. The
diagnosis is usually made by gastroesophagoscopy, esophagogram, bronchogram and
bronchoscopy. And the most of the cases can be cured by fistulectomy and resection of
involved pulmonary lobes.
We experienced one case of congenital bronchoesophageal fistula which occurred in a
13-year-old girl who complained of paroxysmal cough and intermittent hematemesis for
3 years.
