  • Title: Management of benign fistulae between Zenker's diverticulum and the trachea.
    Author: Senders CW, Babin RW.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 1983; 92(4 Pt 1):349-52. PubMed ID: 6410967.
    Abstract:
    Cases of acquired benign fistula of the respiratory tree and esophagus have been reported in relation to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and trauma. Fistula formation between the trachea and a Zenker's diverticulum is a similar type of condition in which nutritional and immunological deficiencies can rapidly result in further complications which may mimic a malignancy. Spontaneous fistula formation and vocal cord paralysis may result. Surgical management of this condition includes interposing viable muscle between the esophagus and trachea at the repair site.
