Congenital tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a result of the failed fusion of tracheoesophageal ridges during the 3 week of gestation. Commonly, TEF is associated with esophageal atresia, which is detected and treated in newborns. Isolated TEF is rare with an overall incidence of 1 in 80,000 live births. Very rarely, they can present in adulthood. This report is adding one such patient at the age of 17 years who presented with the first episode of aspiration pneumonia and a history of retrosternal discomfort and regurgitation since childhood to the limited world experience.
先天性气管食管瘘（TEF）是妊娠第3周时气管食管嵴融合失败的结果。通常，TEF与食管闭锁相关，食管闭锁在新生儿中可被检测到并进行治疗。孤立性TEF很少见，活产儿中的总体发病率为1/80000。极少数情况下，它们可在成年期出现。本报告将一名17岁的此类患者纳入有限的全球经验中，该患者首次出现吸入性肺炎，并有自幼以来的胸骨后不适和反流病史。
