Abstract:
Pleuroesophageal (PE) fistula (PEF) is rare and usually presents secondary to tuberculous mediastinal lymphadenopathy, Boerhaave syndrome, penetrating foreign bodies, erosive oesophagitis, post-mediastinal and gastroesophageal surgeries and neoplasm. We present a case of spontaneous PEF, successfully treated laparoscopically with stapling done through the hiatus.
