Abstract

A tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a pathologicalconnection between the trachea and esophagus.Infectious diseases rarely lead to TEF, and tuberculosis is the most common cause of TEF among all infectious causes. A 78-year-old male patient underexamination for esophageal malignancy at the gastroenterology service, and who was expected to undergo an endoscopic biopsy, was diagnosed withaspiration pneumonia after complaints of dyspneaand coughing after liquid intake, and was transferredto chest diseases clinic. TEF was identified from abronchoscopy. Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA wasisolated during a bronchial aspiration. An endoscopicbiopsy, performed after esophageal malignancy wassuspected, gave the result of a granulomatous reaction. The patient was diagnosed with tuberculosisinduced TEF. Anti-tuberculosis treatment was initiated,and a tracheal Y stent was fitted. In this article wepresent a rare case in which a TEF emerged secondary to tuberculosis, and suggest that tuberculosis maybe a cause of TEF. It is advised that before startinginvasive surgical TEF treatment, it is essential to takethe necessary precautions.

Özet

Trakeaözofageal fistül (TÖF) trakea ile özefagus arasında patolojik bir bağlantı olmasıdır. Enfeksiyon hastalıklarına sekonder gelişen TÖF çok nadir nedenlerdendir. Tüberküloz enfeksiyonu ise enfeksiyöz nedenler arasında en sık izlenenidir. Gastroenteroloji servisinde özefagus malignitesi ön tanısı ile tetkik edilen ve endoskopik biyopsi sonucu beklenen 78 yaşında erkek hasta nefes darlığı, sıvı gıda aldıktan sonra olan öksürük yakınması olması üzerine yapılan tetkiklerde aspirasyon pnömonisi tanısı aldı ve göğüs hastalıkları servisine nakil alındı. Bronkoskopisi yapıldı. TÖF ağzı görüldü. Bronş aspirasyonunda mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA’sı saptandı. Endoskopik biyopsi sonucu granülamatöz reaksiyon olarak geldi. Hastaya tüberküloz nedenli TÖF tanısı konuldu. Antitüberküloz tedavisi başlanan hastaya trakeal Y stent takıldı. Makalemizi tüberkülozun nadir görülen bir TÖF nedeni olması ve nedeni bilinmeyen TÖF’ün operasyonu öncesinde tüberküloz bulaşına yönelik gerekli önlemlerin alınmasının önemini vurgulamak amacıyla sunuyoruz.
