Congenital tracheobiliary fistulas are uncommon and almost always are
diagnosed in the first weeks or months of life. Untreated congenital
tracheobiliary fistulas cause intractable pneumonia and are revealed by a
persistent cough. Medical therapy is not effective, and surgical repair is
needed. A 22-year-old woman was treated successfully by resection of a
fistula communicating between the tracheobronchial tree and the liver.
