Abstract:
Broncho-mediastinal fistulaes are a very rare condition, existing only a report of a case related with primary lung cancer. The authors present a clinical case of a white 58-year-old man, with previous history of cigarette smoking and diabetes, with fever, productive cough and progressive dyspnea, with radiological evidence of right inferior lobar pneumonia. We noticed a radiological deterioration, despite the high spectrum antibiotic therapy, so he was submitted to thoracic computerized tomography and broncofibroscopy, which revealed extensive infiltration of the principal and intermediary bronchioles with a broncho-mediastinal-esophagic fistula. The histological exam revealed a pavimentam cellular carcinoma.

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
