Background: Congenital tracheobiliary or bronchobiliary fistulae are rare developmental malformations associated with high morbidity and mortality primarily because of concomitant anomalies as well as delays in diagnosis.
Technical Report: We report a case of a neonate who presented with bilious emesis and progressive respiratory failure requiring bronchoscopy and fluoroscopic bronchography for diagnosis with successful management through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. We also review the published literature on tracheobiliary fistula.

Congenital bronchobiliary fistula (CBBF) is a very rare malformation associated with clinical symptoms of dyspnoea, vomiting, cyanosis, persistent pneumonia, and poor response to antibiotics. Typical imaging techniques used to diagnose this malformation include bronchography, computed tomography (CT), cholangiography, hepatobiliary nuclear imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We diagnosed a case of CBBF that was initially diagnosed as non-resolving pneumonia.
