Tracheobronchial and pulmonary parenchymatous congenital abnormalities requiring surgical treatment in adults
2012, Revue de Pneumologie CliniqueLong-term results of surgical treatment in benign bronchoesophageal fistula
2007, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :We had 2 cases of malignant BEFs managed surgically at our institution from 1995 to 2005, and they were excluded from our study. However, BEFs could also develop from benign etiologies such as infection, trauma, and esophageal diverticulum, although they have been rarely reported so far1,3-9 Since Heiderich10 first demonstrated a fistula between the right main stem bronchus and the esophagus in 1916, only about 120 cases of benign BEF have been published in the world literature.1 Even the largest single institutional series reported by Braimbridge and Keith11 in 1965 included 3 cases from their own experience and 20 cases that had been released in the literature until that time.
Congenital esophagobronchial fistula discovered in an adult
2006, Revue de Pneumologie CliniqueCongenital bronchoesophageal fistula in the adult: A case report
2000, American Journal of GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :The youngest reported was in a 9-day-old boy and the oldest in an 83-yr-old man, with the most common location being between the right lower lobe and middle third of the esophagus (1). Fewer cases have been reported that communicate with the left lung, and there are only two cases reported in the literature of a fistula between the esophagus and left main bronchus (2, 3). Symptoms may begin at any time and are often intermittent.
