Broncho‐mediastinal fistula following perforation of the oesophagus

Abstract We present a 63‐year old female with mediastinitis following an esophageal perforation, possibly favoured by an oesophageal motility disorder and the use of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs, who developed a broncho‐mediastinal fistula in the left main bronchus. She was successfully treated with intravenous antibiotics, a cervical oesophagostomy and secondary isoperistaltic coloplasty.
