Haemoptysis is uncommon in children and the diagnosis is challenging. We describe a 14-year-old child who presented with haemoptysis secondary to a suspected congenital broncho-oesophageal fistula. This is a rare condition and the symptoms are insidious, occasionally beginning in childhood but may present only in adulthood. The case report describes the presentation, diagnosis and management of broncho-oesophageal fistulas, with a review of the current literature.
咯血在儿童中并不常见，诊断具有挑战性。我们描述了一名14岁儿童，因疑似先天性支气管食管瘘而出现咯血。这是一种罕见的病症，症状隐匿，偶尔始于儿童期，但可能直到成年才出现。该病例报告描述了支气管食管瘘的临床表现、诊断和治疗，并对当前文献进行了综述。
