Congenital bronchoesophageal fistulas in the adult age group are rare, with
only approximately 20 cases having been recognized. All of these cases have
been an isolated esophageal anomaly without other associated esophageal
pathology. We present an interesting case of an adult with both symptomatic
congenital bronchoesophageal fistula and proximal esophageal web.
