Congenital tracheobiliary fistula

“…Most fistulas have been reported to arise from this location; however, in 30% of cases, its origin lies in the right main bronchus and 10% in the left main bronchus [4]. Microscopically, the histologic appearances of these fistulas are similar.…”

“…Only 25 cases have been reported in the literature [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. We present a patient with tracheobiliary fistula and severe respiratory insufficiency needing extracorporal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to survive.…”

Complex communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation with pancreatic heterotopy depicted with fetal magnetic resonance imaging: a case report

“…Thus, early surgical resection is preferred before respiratory distress occurs. Communication between pancreatic duct and EPS is another rare but separate anomaly [10,11]. Mediastinal sequestration with ectopic pancreatic mass and malformation syndrome was first described by Tilson and Touloukian [12].…”

Congenital Bronchobiliary Fistula in a 65-year-old Woman

“…Only 29 cases have been reported mostly in children (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Because patients with CBBF usually manifest respiratory symptoms from early infancy, the condition is diagnosed at an early age on the basis of bilious sputum and/or recurrent airway infections (2)(3)(4).…”

“…Because patients with CBBF usually manifest respiratory symptoms from early infancy, the condition is diagnosed at an early age on the basis of bilious sputum and/or recurrent airway infections (2)(3)(4). Without surgical treatment, CBBF causes severe respiratory disease and the mortality is high (5).…”
