“…Three-dimensional computed tomography and esophagoscopy have recently become popular clinical examination tools with significant improvement, which was made on quality of image due to a rapid progress in computer technology. [ 4 , 7 , 11 ] By these 2 examinations, the bronchoesophageal diverticulum with a fistula could be clearly demonstrated providing a direct evidence for the diagnosis in this case. Consequently, 3-dimensional computed tomography and esophagoscopy should be used as routine methods in the patients of bronchoesophageal fistula because of their noninvasive features.…”

Rationale:Most of the esophageal diverticulums are congenital traction instead of in childhood. In most conditions, esophageal diverticulums are free of any symptoms. As one of the rare entity, esophageal diverticulum can also result in bronchoesophageal fistula.Patient concerns:A 10-year-old girl was admitted due to a 2-month history of cough and choking after drinking, and fever for 3 days. No symptoms when taking solid food were found.Diagnoses:By esophagogram, 3-dimensional computed tomography and esophagoscopy, an esophageal diverticulum was demonstrated in the middle esophagus with a bronchoesophageal fistula visualized. Then the diagnoses of esophageal diverticulum and bronchoesophageal fistula were established.Interventions:A regular trans-anterolateral thoracotomy was carried out under general anesthesia with patient lying on the right side. The diverticulum was then removed and the fistulous tract was closed.Outcomes:The girl discharged on the 14th postoperative day and received a regular monthly follow-up, at present, no recurrence was found.Lessons:Bronchoesophageal fistula may be a complication of esophageal diverticula, and should be considered in cases of unexplained cough or recurrent pneumonia.

“…Endoscopic methods have been gaining popularity with case reports demonstrating success of minimally invasive treatments. Under the guidance of laryngoscope, a 5 year old male received a myotomy via carbon dioxide laser therapy without complication [7]. Additional case reports demonstrate feasibility of the argon plasma coagulation system in two teenagers with esophageal diverticula [18].…”

Esophageal atresia (EA) presents some of the greatest technical hurdles that pediatric has to face. Postnatally, the classical clinical presentation of an infant with EA is an abnormally mucousy infant who is drooling excessive amount of saliva. Diagnosis conirmed when an orogastric tube cannot be passed through the mouth into the stomach. Examination should assess the as cardiac, anal limb. The purpose of the surgery is to divide the trachea esophageal istula (TEF) and to restore esophageal continuity blind-ending upper esophageal.Achalasia is an uncommon disorder of esophagus dysmotility. Patients typically present with a history of progressively worsening dysphagia that begins with solid foods. The initial diagnosis test in child with dysphasia is usually a contrast esophagogram. Classic indings include a dilated, dysmotile esophagus and a bird's beak deformity at the gastroesophageal junction. The main treatments of achalasia are esophageal myotomy, balloon dilation or botulism toxin. Esophageal diverticula are often irst suspected on Chest X ray(CXR) due to presenting symptoms. These lesions can cause wheezing, dyspnea, hemoptysis and recurrent pneumonia due to airway compression and dysphasia due to esophagus compression. These duplications should be further investigated by CT scan or Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The preferred method of treatment is thoracoscopy or thoracotomy.
