    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Congenital esophageal-bronchial fistulas are rare anomalies.
    • Tuberculosis can present with atypical symptoms, including respiratory and digestive issues.

    Observation:

    • A 38-year-old male presented with halitosis and positional cough.
    • Diagnostic imaging revealed a fistula between the esophagus and the left main bronchus.

    Findings:

    • Standard anti-tuberculosis treatment and cauterization were ineffective.
    • Surgical intervention (thoracotomy with division and suture) successfully closed the congenital fistula.

    Implications:

    • Congenital esophageal-bronchial fistula requires surgical management for definitive treatment.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical repair are crucial for preventing complications such as recurrent infections and malnutrition.
