Abstract
A 60-year-old woman developed a gastrodiaphragmatic fistula as a late complication of transabdominal Nissen fundoplication. For 6 years, she had complained of chest pain and was considered to have pericarditis. At reoperation the fistulous track was found and easily resected. No other causative factor could be identified.
