Fístula esôfago-bronco-pleural pós pneumonectomia direita
We report the case of a 42 years old female that presented a simultaneous bronchial and esophagopleural fistula 32 months following a right pneumonectomy for pulmonary tuberculosis. The clinical findings were mainly related to pleural sepsis. The treatment consisted initially in clearing the pleural infection, followed by closure of both fistulae, using muscle flaps and thoracoplasty. The post operative course was uneventful and the patient is doing well over three years later.
