A-79-year old man, treated by thoracic fundoplication for hiatus hernia with symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux, 12 years previously, was examined for persistent cough and left basal pneumonia. Esophagogastroscopy revealed a gastrobronchial fistule which was confirmed by endoscopical fistulograms. Surgical treatment led to complete recovery of the patient. A review of the literature confirms the rarety of this ailment as well as the relevance of preoperative diagnosis by perendoscopical fistulograms.
