Aortoesophageal fistula is a rare complication after neurosurgical repair of the thoracic spine. We report an instance of a lethal aortoesophageal fistula caused by a pseudoaneurysm that developed after long contact between the prosthetic material from a spinal reconstruction procedure and the thoracic aorta. Pathologic examination showed that the mesh formed the roof of the pseudoaneurysm and was the most probable cause of the lesion.
主动脉食管瘘是胸椎神经外科修复术后一种罕见的并发症。我们报告了一例致死性主动脉食管瘘，其由脊柱重建手术中植入材料与胸主动脉长期接触后形成的假性动脉瘤所致。病理检查显示，补片构成了假性动脉瘤的顶部，极有可能是该病变的病因。
