Özet

Bronchoesophageal fistulas associated with traction diverticula are exceptional. We presented a case of traction diverticulum that fistulized to the bronchial tree and resulted in segmentary bronchiectasis. We encountered a successful repair of esophagobronchial fistula communicated to esophageal diverticulum. To our knowledge, there is no reported case of traction diverticulosis causing esophagobronchial fistula and bronchiectasis in a similar fashion.
