Colobronchial fistula: a rare cause of chronic cough

S K Sahu et al. Natl Med J India. 2011 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

We report a colobronchial fistula in a middle-aged woman. She had been having cough with expectoration of sputum with a faeculent odour since the age of 7 years. Imaging revealed a fistulous connection between the hepatic flexure and the right bronchial tree, which was successfully repaired surgically.
