[Bronchial fistula caused by Pott's abscesses. Report of 3 cases].

The authors report 3 cases of intrabronchial fistulisation of paravertebral abscesses due to tuberculous spondylitis of the thoracic spine. This complication is relatively rare (these 3 cases were in a series of 178 cases of Pott's disease) and is easy to diagnose due to its characteristic radio-clinical features. As mentioned in old publications, this type of fistulisation does not seem to have serious consequences. There are no particular aspects of treatment.
