[Aorto-esophageal fistula in arteria lusoria].
A 29 year old patient with artificial respiration because of a severe trauma was fed by tube. 23 days after his admission to a hospital an uncontrollable bleeding arised out of the oesophagus. The autopsy revealed an aortic-oesophageal fistula, caused by the feeding tube, which owing to the (unrecognised) arteria lusoria had lead to a pressure sore of the oesophagus.
