Abstract

A communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM) is a rare congenital anomaly that is characterized by a fistula between isolated respiratory tissue and the esophagus or stomach, The presence of accessory lung tissue arising from the primitive gastrointestinal tube is a common factor in the development of all forms of bronchopulmonary foregut malformations. Recurrent pneumonia associated with cystic radiographic structures is a characteristic of the condition. Further imaging studies using esophagogram, bronchography, computerized tomography, MRI, and arteriography can help in making a diagnostic evaluation. The treatment is a surgical resection of the involved lung tissue, and fistula closure with a good prognosis. We encountered a case of CBPFM, who presented with an extralobar pulmonary sequestration and bronchogenic cyst communicating with a tubular esophageal duplication that was associated with a complete left pericardial defect.

Communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM)은 매우 드문 선천성 기형으로 격리된 호흡계 조직과 식도 또는 위장 사이의 누관이 특징적이다. 원시위장관에서 기원한 부속의 폐조직이 모든 종류의 bronchopulmonary furegut malformation 발생의 중요한 요인이 된다. 반복되는 폐렴이 있는 환자의 chest X-ray에서 낭성 병변이 보인다면 CBPFM을 생각해봐야 하며, 진단적 방법으로 식도조영술, 기관조영술, 컴퓨터 단층촬영, 자기공명영상 그리고 혈관조영술 등이 도움이 된다. 치료는 수술적 제거가 권장되며 예후도 좋다. 좌측 완전 심낭결손증과 동반되었으며, 이중식도에 연결된 외엽성 폐격리증과 기관지성 낭종을 보인 CBPFM 1예를 보고한다.
