ABSTRACT
A case of aorto-oesophageal fistula (AEF) resulting from a foreign body is presented. High mortality accompanies this rare complication and only a few survivors have been reported previously. AEF should be suspected in any patient with midthoracic pain or dysphagia that heralds upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage. We report the salvage of a 64 year-old man with AEF resulting from a denture.
