RESUMO
Tracheoesophageal fistula is uncommon in adults but can cause devastating aspiration events. Herein, we report a unique case of a tracheoesophageal fistula in an adult that presented intraoperatively. The patient did not have any prior history of abdominal or thoracic surgery and was not intubated for a prolonged period of time. The diagnosis, subsequent hospital course, and recommendations for early recognition of this rare condition are discussed.
