title: FOREIGN BODY INDUCED TRACHEOESOPHAGEAL FISTULA IN A PEDIATRIC PATIENT WITH A MISDIAGNOSIS: CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE.
abstract: Acquired tracheoesophageal fistulae can be diagnosed clinically by features such as cough elicited by swallowing but symptoms can be mild. Here, we report a case of a foreign body induced trachea-esophageal fistula in a 2 year and 6 months old male child with a chronic cough who had long been misdiagnosed and mismanaged.
