Popis:	Esophago-respiratory fistula (ERF) refers to the formation of a pathological connection between the esophagus and respiratory tract. Acquired ERF is a rare but life-threatening diagnosis in adults. We describe a 79-year-old male who was admitted with an inhalation smoke injury. He was diagnosed with ERF by endoscopic visualization and sampling of the hyaline cartilage within the wall of the esophagus. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement and conservative measures were effective in the management of ERF.
