Traumatic Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula: A Case Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: Traumatic tracheoesophageal fistula is a rare and potentially fatal condition. The rarity of this emergency makes it challenging to obtain exclusive clinical experience and it is also challenging to obtain firm scientific evidence that informs patient management and clinical decision-making. If done at the earliest then radiological investigations are important for patient management as they result in timely diagnosis and suggest necessary interventions thereafter. Good attention to all symptoms and signs and timely diagnosis based on imaging may translate into better outcomes for these patients, no matter young or elderly. Surgical operation is then an option for the patient, but a nonoperative approach, with or without use of an endoscopic stent, should be considered when the clinical situation allows for a less invasive approach.
