Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Thoracic Surgery

Background:

  • Gastrobronchial fistula is an exceptionally rare condition.
  • Commonly reported causes include trauma, subphrenic abscess, and gastro-oesophageal surgery.

Observation:

  • A case of gastrobronchial fistula is presented.
  • The fistula developed due to a peptic ulcer within a hiatus hernia.

Findings:

  • This specific etiology (peptic ulcer in a hiatus hernia) is unprecedented in the literature.
  • The fistula occurred six years after fundoplication surgery.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known etiological spectrum of gastrobronchial fistulas.
  • Highlights the potential for delayed complications from peptic ulcers in hiatal hernias post-surgery.
