Tracheoesophageal fistula is a very rare but potentially life-threatening complication of blunt chest trauma. Prior reviews have revealed that the victims were all young men involved in deceleration or crush injuries. Of those involved in motor vehicle accidents, most were thrown against the steering wheel. Herein, we review the world literature on this injury and include our own report of 1 of the few cases of traumatic tracheoesophageal fistula involving a female victim. In this case, the victim was an unrestrained driver thrown against an air bag.
气管食管瘘是钝性胸部创伤中一种非常罕见但可能危及生命的并发症。既往综述显示，受害者均为遭受减速伤或挤压伤的年轻男性。在那些涉及机动车事故的受害者中，大多数人被甩向方向盘。在此，我们回顾了关于这种损伤的世界文献，并纳入了我们自己报告的少数几例创伤性气管食管瘘病例中的1例，该病例的受害者为女性。在该病例中，受害者是一名未系安全带的驾驶员，被甩向安全气囊。
