[Esophago-bronchial fistula originating in an esophageal diverticulum]

In connection with an esophageal diverticulum the case of an infrequent acquired esophago-bronchial fistula appearing in symptom-poor form is described. The fistula persisted over a long period however owing to the poor symptoms and absence of pulmonary complications operation was left out of consideration. In the course of the regular control the complaints of the patient ceased and the endoscopy showed shrinking of the fistula. No similar observation was found in the Hungarian literature.
