[Congenital esophagobronchial fistula in the adult]

The authors report the case of a 60-year-old man presenting with an esophagobronchial fistula. The congenital origin of the lesion was demonstrated by the history of the clinical symptomatology and by radiological, endoscopic and anatomical arguments. While it is a rare complaint in adults, it is worth considering in the diagnosis of a chronic cough, because it can be cured surgically without any problems.
