description A bronchopulmonary fistula is a pathological connection that develops between the bronchi and the pleural cavity as a result of etiologies including surgery, infection, blunt or penetrating trauma, radiation, chemotherapy, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease sequela. Diagnosis and treatment are challenging for intensivists. We present a case report of bronchopulmonary fistula resulting in hydropneumothorax caused by necrotizing pneumonia and complicated by mycobacterium avium complex that resolved spontaneously. The aim of this case report is to discuss the presentation and treatment of bronchopleural fistulas.
