title: [Congenital tracheoesophageal fistula in the adult].
abstract: Congenital esophago-tracheal and esophago-bronchial fistulae are rare. Symptoms are recurrent pneumonia, cough, dysphagia and pain. The diagnosis is made by bronchoscopy or esophagoscopy. Every time the diagnosis is certain, the fistula has to be exstirpated by means of a thoracotomy and plastic reconstructive flap surgery.
