Esophagobronchial Fistula Following Corrosive Injury of Esophagus: 2 Cases with Different Etiology But Similar Presentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acquired esophagobronchial fistula (EBF) is a rare condition and its surgical remediation is challenging. Management depends on the cause and degree of the injury. Corrosive substances can be alkaline or acidic in nature. Alkali ingestion commonly causes esophageal injury while acid ingestion most often damages the stomach. However, it is not always clear which gastrointestinal site will be injured. We present two cases of tracheoesophageal fistula with different etiology but similar complication: one due to alkaline ingestion, and one due to acidic ingestion. Both patients had successful surgical management.

متن کاملSever Gastrointestinal Caustic Injury and Surgical Treatment
Approximately 20% of caustic ingestions result in some degree of esophageal injury. Alkaline materials are the most frequent corrosive materials ingested. The physical form and PH of ingested materials play a critical role in the site and type of gastrointestinal injury (PH > 12 or PH < 1.5, crystalline drain cleaners). Unlike Alkaline solutions, strong acids are bitter, burn on contact and...
