Two cases of benign bronchoesophageal fistula are presented which are representative of both congenital and acquired forms. The presentation of this relatively rare condition is characterized by recurrent cough especially after drinking liquids and is easily diagnosed by esophagogram. A high index of suspicion is required in all cases of recurrent cough and lung suppuration in order for this condition to be recognized. Benign bronchoesophageal fistulas are rare but the symptoms are often classic and the diagnosis is made easily once proper investigation is undertaken. Bronchoesophageal fistulas may be either congenital or acquired, with the latter being more common. The treatment is usually straightforward and prognosis is excellent for long-term survival. We present two cases of benign bronchoesophageal fistula.
本文介绍了两例良性支气管食管瘘病例，分别代表先天性和后天性两种类型。这种相对罕见疾病的表现特征为反复咳嗽，尤其是在饮用液体后，通过食管造影检查很容易确诊。对于所有反复咳嗽和肺化脓的病例，都需要高度怀疑才能识别出这种疾病。良性支气管食管瘘虽然罕见，但症状通常很典型，一旦进行适当检查，诊断并不困难。支气管食管瘘可能是先天性的，也可能是后天性的，后者更为常见。治疗通常很简单，长期生存预后良好。我们展示了两例良性支气管食管瘘病例。
