Abstract
We present a case of a 65-year-old male who experienced posterior sternal pain, accompanied by a week-long fever following the consumption of fish. Computed tomography (CT) examination revealed a fish bone in the middle esophageal, along with a small amount of gas in the mediastinum. A focal pseudoaneurysm formation was observed in the posterior wall of the left pulmonary artery trunk, accompanied by the presence of gas and septic emboli in the main trunk of the left pulmonary artery and some of its branches. Furthermore, distal pulmonary tissue infarction with associated infection was observed (Figure 1A-F). Clinical diagnosis: Esophago-pulmonary artery fistula caused by fish bone impaction. Reports of esophago-pulmonary artery fistulas without involvement of the trachea or bronchi are rare.
