Abstract
A case of oesophago-pericardial fistula following oesophagoscopy and dilatation is reported. This is a rare and usually fatal complication of oesophageal instrumentation. This case is of further interest as cardiac tamponade following a Niopam swallow subsequently occurred, and the patient survived emergency surgery.Entities:
