Abstract
Esophagoarterial fistula is a rare but life-threatening complication o f an aberrant subclavian artery aneurysm. We report the computed tomog raphy appearance of such a fistula. The characteristic location, prese nce of rim calcification, and interspersed air and thrombus allowed fo r prompt preoperative diagnosis and surgery.
