Acquired tracheoesophageal fistula following rubber toy ingestion

Ophir Bar-On et al. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2024 Dec.

Abstract

We depict an uncommon presentation of rubber toy ingestion which remained impacted in the esophagus for months, gradually eroding the mucosa, and ultimately causing a traumatic acquired tracheoesophageal fistula.

Keywords: acquired tracheoesophageal fistula; foreign body ingestion.
