title: Esophagobronchial fistula caused by traction esophageal diverticulum.
abstract: Fistulization is a rare and not often described complication of esophageal diverticula. We present the case of a patient treated surgically in our service who had a history of diverticulum of the third distal of the esophagus, and was diagnosed for irritative post-ingestive cough with associated regurgitation and vomiting of undigested food.
