The authors report on a case of esophagorespiratory fistula due to squamous carcinoma of the esophagus treated on an emergency basis by endoscopic insertion of an Atkinson prosthesis following dilation of the malignant stenosis with Savary dilators. The authors suggest the endoscopic insertion of a prosthesis as the first approach in the emergency treatment of a malignant esophagorespiratory fistula because of the easiness of the technique, and its low morbidity and mortality rates; furthermore, this procedure relieves digestive and respiratory symptoms rapidly and reduces hospital stay while providing the patient with a better quality of remaining life.
