ABSTRACT
Congenital esophago-respiratory fistulae in adults have rarely been reported. Moreover, most of those are the cases of bronchoesophageal fistulae, that is to say esophago-lower respiratory fistulae. We experienced case of a congenital tracheoesophageal fistula in an adult, not a bronchoesophageal fistula. At our hospital, a 20-year-old male with recurrent episodes of a paroxysmal(especially postprandial) cough, respiratory infection and relative growth retardation had been diagnosed by using esophagography and esphagoscopy as having a congenital tracheoesophageal fistula with a concomittant esophageal diverticulum. The surgical correction was done successfully. We are excited to report a case of a congenital tracheoesophageal fistula in an adult, which is believed to be the first case of its kind in Korea.
