Upper GI endoscopy revealed the presence of smooth tracheoesophageal opening (fistula) in the upper 3rd of the anterior wall of the esophagus at 25 cm from the incisor teeth [Figure 1]; however, biopsy and wash aspiration from this fistula was negative for tuberculosis (TB) culture.

There were also subpleural fibroatelectatic changes in the posterior segment of the right upper lobe, most likely due to recurrent aspirations [Figure 2a-b].
