COMMUNICATING BRONCHOPULMONARY FOREGUT MALFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH ESOPHAGEAL ATRESIA AND TRACHEOESOPHAGEAL FISTULA

We report on two neonates who had esophageal atresia with a distal tracheo-esophageal fistula (type III) and a second fistula between the distal esophagus and an intralobular sequestrated lung segment. In both patients the bronchopulmonary foregut malformation became evident only when the entire esophagus was in continuity following primary repair and a contrast swallow was performed to evaluate the anastomotic site.
