Esophago-respiratory fistula (ERF) refers to the formation of a pathological connection between the esophagus and respiratory tract. Acquired ERF is a rare but life-threatening diagnosis in adults. We describe a 79-year-old male who was admitted with an inhalation smoke injury. He was diagnosed with ERF by endoscopic visualization and sampling of the hyaline cartilage within the wall of the esophagus. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement and conservative measures were effective in the management of ERF.
食管气管瘘（ERF）是指食管与呼吸道之间形成的病理性连接。后天性ERF在成人中是一种罕见但危及生命的诊断。我们描述了一名79岁男性，因吸入性烟雾损伤入院。通过内镜观察和对食管壁内透明软骨进行取样，他被诊断为ERF。经皮内镜下胃造口术置管和保守措施对ERF的治疗有效。
