Usefulness of CT virtual endoscopy in imaging a large esophagorespiratory fistula

Eur J Radiol. 2000 Apr;34(1):60-2. doi: 10.1016/s0720-048x(99)00100-x.

Abstract

A 73-year-old woman with a large esophagorespiratory fistula underwent bronchoscopy and computed tomographic (CT) virtual endoscopy before stenting. Noninvasive CT virtual endoscopy showed the large fistula, and the CT findings agreed with the bronchoscopic findings.
