Bronchoesophageal fistula diagnosed on modified barium swallow, a unique presentation

Modified barium swallow (MBS) studies, performed in conjunction with speech pathologists, are routinely performed to assess for aspiration.

Sumario:Modified barium swallow (MBS) studies, performed in conjunction with speech pathologists, are routinely performed to assess for aspiration.

We report a case of a 79-year-old female with bronchoesophageal fistula diagnosed incidentally after abnormal findings on an MBS initially performed to assess for aspiration.
