title: Cervical Crohn's disease with oesophago-pulmonary fistula.
abstract: We report what we believe to be the first case of Crohn's disease involving the cervical oesophagus with an oesophago-pulmonary fistula to the apex of the lung. The proximal location of the disease prevented radical therapy and the patient eventually died from chronic sepsis.
