A J Missen et al. Postgrad Med J. 1974 Aug.

Abstract

1. Gastro-bronchial fistula is a rare condition occurring most commonly as a complication of a subphrenic abscess.

2. Other causes include trauma and necrosis within an infiltrating neoplasm.

3. The treatment of those fistulae which are secondary to a subphrenic abscess should be by drainage of the abscess, jejunal tube feeding and continuous gastric aspiration.
