Tracheobronchial Remnants: A Rare Congenital Anomaly

Abstract

An 11-year-old male patient with a history of developmental delay, deafness, reactive airway disease, chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease, subglottic stenosis, Nissen fundoplication, and gastrostomy placement in infancy had his gastrostomy removed at age 10 and presented to our outpatient office 2 months later complaining of persistent leakage from the gastrocutaneous fistula. There was no coughing, gagging, or choking with oral feeds. He underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy to close the fistula via clipping, and an incidental finding of an irregular patch of nodular mucosa was visualized in the mid-esophagus.
