An aortobronchial fistula is a rare complication of aneurysm of the aorta. The fistula starting from a chronic traumatic aortic aneurysm is exceptionally rare. Our observation concerns a patient of 26 with previous chest trauma who had atelectasis of left lung following dyspnea and hemoptysis. Aortography and surgical intervention revealed that this was a chronic traumatic aortic aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta, which developed a fistula in the bronchus. She underwent left posterolateral thoracotomy and the surgical repair of the aneurysm was performed with a woven Dacron patch graft using a temporary external bypass between the ascending and the descending aorta. The fistula in the bronchus was closed with simple interrupted sutures. In the immediate postoperative period, double vision, headache, and hoarseness developed but returned normal.

Congenital esophago-bronchial fistula without atresia is very rare and usually demonstrate more insidious clinical effects, and patients may reach adult life before the diagnosis. We had been experienced a typical case of esophago-bronchial fistula without atresia and document the case. A 42-year-old women was admitted to our hospital due to frequent choking symptom and attacks of pneumonia, and patient status was in chronic pulmonary infection status such as most probably bronchiectatic state of right middle & lower lobe including significant destructive changes. We had confirmed esophago-bronchial fistula without atresia with esophagoscopy, esophagogram, and chest CT, and performed esophago-bronchial fistulectomy and right middle & lower lobectomy. Its belongs to type II of Braimbridge`s classification for congenital esophago-bronchial fistula. Postoperation course was smooth and uneventful.

A fistulous communication between an esophageal traction diverticulum and the tracheobronchial tree appears to be of rare occurrence. This report reviews the feature of benign esophagobronchial fistula due to esophageal traction diverticulum. This 36-year-old female patient suffered from substernal pain, interscapular pain and severe paroxysmal coughing after ingestion of fluids. This patient was taken a diverticulectomy and partial resection of superior segment of right lower lobe. After the operation, there was no subjective symptoms, esophagobronchial fistula, leakage, stricture and diverticulum. The postoperative result was excellent.

어지럼증은 모든 사람들이 일상생활에서 겪는 가장 흔한 질병 중 하나이다. 이러한 어지럼증은 주로 전정 기관의 약화 및 충격으로 인한 다양한 원인에 의해 유발되며 전정 재활을 통해 회복 될 수 있다. 전정 재활은 다양한 형태로 존재하지만 모든 사람을 위해 수행 할 수 있는 보편적 인 방법으로 훈련의 목적은 눈, 머리 및 균형 운동을 통해 전정 기관을 반복적으로 운동하는 것이다. 그러나 이러한 재활은 지루하고 흥미가 없으므로 환자가 계속 훈련을 하고 제대로 수행하고 있는지 확인하는 것이 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 Unity3D 및 FOVE HMD를 사용하여 재미있고 평가 가능한 가상 현실 전정 재활의 내용을 구현했다.

We had been experienced 6 cases of congenital esophagobronchial fistula which underwent surgical intervention in all cases. Of the 6 patients, 5 patients were male, one patient was female. The mean age of patients was 37.8 years old and clinical symptom free period was 27.1 years. According to Braimbridge`s classification, they were belonged to the type II[3 cases], type III[2 cases], <% type I[1 case]. Pre-operative diagnosis was available in 4 cases and the 2 cases could be diagnosed at operation field. The fistulectomy were performed in all cases, concomitant segmental resection[1 case], lobectomy[1 case], bi-lobectomy[1 case], and pneumonectomy[3 cases] were combined.

Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula associated esophageal atresia usually presents in the newborn period or infancy but those without esophageal atresia are more insidious in disease process. Symptoms which include cough, hemoptysis, choking on swallowing liquids, uncommonly dysphagia, and epigastric discomfort may not begin until adult life. Most of the cases are curative unless there are serious underlying conditions. The diagnosis is usually made by gastroesophagoscopy, esophagogram, bronchogram and bronchoscopy. And the most of the cases can be cured by fistulectomy and resection of involved pulmonary lobes. We experienced one case of congenital bronchoesophageal fistula which occurred in a 13- year-old girl who complained of paroxysmal cough and intermittent hematemesis for 3 years.

We have experienced three cases of congenital bronchoesophageal fistula which is rare and usually has an insidious clinical course. The patients included a thirty year old man and thirty six, thirty eight year old women respectively. Bronchiectatsis was found in all three cases, and bronchoesophageal fistula was found in one case preoperatively by esophagography and esophagoscopy, and other two cases operative field. The fistula was found between right lower esophagus and right lower lobe in all cases and esophageal diverticulum in one case. So they belonged to type I[1 case , II[2 cases of Braimbridge and Keith`s classification of congenital bronchoesophageal fistula . The fistulectomy was performed in all cases and concomitant lobectomy [2 cases and bilobectomy [1 case were done. There were toxic hepatitis in two cases and prolonged air leakage in one case postoperatively. They were discharged on recovered state and have continued to do well.

Broncholithiasis is defined as a condition in which a concretion is present within a bronchus or a cavity in the lung communicating with a bronchus. Broncholithiasis, although recognized in antiquity by Aristotle and well known to accompany the mediastinal calcifications of tuberculosis and histoplasmosis frequently seen in our society, is rarely mentioned in recent medical literature. Esophagobronchial fistula is an uncommon finding in broncholithiasis. This report is a case of esophagobronchial fistula with broncholithiasis in 58-year-old male patient who complained paroxysmal coughing after ingestion of fluids. The fistulous tract was successfully resected and reinforced by mediastinal pleura. Broncholithiasis was confirmed by lithoptysis as the cause of previous esophagobronchial fistula.
