    A rare esophagopericardiac fistula from chest trauma resolved favorably. Prompt antibiotic treatment likely prevented infection, leading to a positive outcome in this case.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Esophagopericardiac fistula is a rare and often fatal condition.
    • Closed chest injuries can lead to complex intrathoracic complications.
    • Early recognition and management are crucial for patient survival.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with an esophagopericardiac fistula following a closed chest injury.
    • The fistula was diagnosed and managed conservatively.
    • No infective complications were observed during the patient's recovery.

    Findings:

    • The esophagopericardiac fistula showed spontaneous favorable resolution.
    • Adequate antibiotic therapy was administered to the patient.
    • The absence of infective complications was noted as a key factor in the favorable outcome.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for conservative management of esophagopericardiac fistulas.
    • Effective antibiotic prophylaxis may prevent serious complications in such cases.
    • Further research into optimal management strategies for traumatic esophagopericardiac fistulas is warranted.
