title: [Congenital esophagobronchial fistula in an adult].
abstract: Congenital esophagobronchial fistulae are rare and are most often observed in neonatalogy. We present the case of a 21-year-old man with a history of chronic bronchorrhea due to middle and lower lung lobe destruction. This case demonstrates the diagnostic features in individuals with unexplained suppurating respiratory symptoms and the difficulty in identifying the congenital pathogenesis of this type of fistula.
