A 69-year-old male had catheter-based ablation for atrial fibrillation. He was admitted with high fever and had neurological disorder; he was diagnosed with atrioesophageal fistula by CT scan. Intraoperative findings showed that the fistula existed adjacent to the left lower pulmonary vein with a vegetation. The esophageal fistula was repaired, and the left atrial fistula was closed. A nasogastric tube tip was placed in the esophagus for decompression and advanced into the stomach for nutritional support. After vomiting, the patient showed loss of consciousness and left hemiplegia. CT scan revealed a micro-air embolism to the brain. The nasogastric tube tip was pulled back into the esophagus. Gastrointestinal fiberscopy showed a pinhole at the fistula, and a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy was made. After conservative treatment, the esophageal fistula was closed and mediastinitis was improved. He was discharged with a little neurological deficit.

Thymic carcinoma with central nervous system involvement is very rare in children. A 27-month-old girl presented with a unilateral squint, vomiting, and behavioral changes. Imaging studies showed a silent anterior mediastinal mass and a large metastatic mass at the base of the skull. Biopsy of the anterior mediastinal mass confirmed an undifferentiated tumor consistent with thymic carcinoma. The child died within 3 months of the onset of symptoms, due to progression of the disease. These lethal tumors of unknown histogeneses and etiology are aggressive in nature, resistant to therapy, and have a rapidly fatal course.

A rare case of esophageal atresia/tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA-TEF) with an associated tracheobronchial remnant (TBR) is reported and discussed herein. A 13-month-old patient was seen with a complaint of vomiting of solid food 1 year after EA-TEF repair. An esophagogram showed a tapered narrowing in the lower segment of the esophagus. A re-operation was carried out and a pathologic examination of the resected stenotic segment revealed the presence of a TBR.
