A case report of a tuberculous tracheo-oesophageal fistula is described. The patient was successfully treated by antituberculous chemotherapy and a Mousseau-Barbin tube to control dysphagia and choking on deglutition. After 3 months the Mousseau-Barbin tube became displaced and was removed. Closure of the fistula was demonstrated by radiology and endoscopy.
