ABSTRACT
Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies is common in clinical practice. It is usually seen to pass through the gastrointestinal tract easily. However, in the case of impaction in the esophagus, it can lead to catastrophic conditions. Aorto-esophageal fistula is one such disastrous complication with a high fatality rate. Despite treatment, mortality rates of up to 80% have been reported in the literature, with the condition being uniformly fatal in untreated patients. We describe a case of aorto-esophageal fistula secondary to a chicken bone impaction presenting with sentinel hemorrhage and managed expeditiously and successfully with simultaneous endoscopic removal and surgical repair of the fistula.
