Tracheomegaly and tracheosephagial fistula following mechanical ventilation: A case report and review of the literature

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2016
Postintubation Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare complication. Acquired TEF most commonly occurred following prolonged mechanical ventilation with an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube, cuff-related tracheal injury, post-intubation injury.
