    AbstractAlthough aortoenteric fistula has been recognised for more than 50 years and has been rapidly diagnosed and treated, mortality is still very high due to some serious complications such as sepsis or massive haemorrhage. It has been traditionally classified into two groups; primary (PAEF) and secondary (SAEF). An even rarer subgroup is secondary aortoesophageal fistula (SAEsF), and it presents three characteristic findings which are known as Chiaris triad. In this case report, we describe a case of SAEsF, which had an atypical presentation and fatal outcome. Key Words: Abdominal aortic aneurysm, Aortoenteric fistula, Aortoesophageal fistula.
