BRONCHO-ESOPHAGEAL FISTULA IN 2 DOGS

Two clinical cases of broncho-oesophageal fistula in the dog are prese nted. While both cases illustrate the value of oesophagoscopy as a dia gnostic tool, one case depicts the complications which may be associat ed with positive contrast oesophagography. These two cases support pre vious observations that broncho-oesophageal fistulae are frequently of foreign body aetiology and usually extend from the caudal oesophagus, via the pleural space, to the caudal or middle right lung lobes.
