Esophago-pericardial fistula is a rare, life-threatening condition, usually arising as a complication of benign esophageal disorders or iatrogenic causes. Prompt diagnosis via multimodality imaging is crucial, with computed tomography being the most sensitive. Management varies based on severity, with a growing trend toward early endoscopic interventions, which result in improved outcomes.
