Esophageal foreign bodies are an emergency entity. Rarely, it can cause fatal complications such as aorto-oesophageal fistula. In this study, the authors present a case of esophageal perforation, aortic pseudoaneurysm, and aorto-oesophageal fistula in an adult male patient after chicken bone ingestion, resulting in a poor outcome. An urgent and multidisciplinary approach is very critical in the diagnosis, treatment, and clinical management of aorto-oesophageal fistula.
