Esophageal lung is a rare entity that results from embryological alterations during the formation of the ventral wall of the anterior intestine. The clinical manifestations of this pathology are vague, including respiratory or digestive symptoms, repetitive respiratory infections, dysphagia, or inability to swallow. The management is based on the exact anatomical and vascular abnormalities. We report the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in a preterm boy with esophageal lung. Also, we present a three-dimensional model for the classification of this pathology. In conclusion, the management relies on proper definition of the anatomy and the surgical strategy.

“…Previous studies showed that CBPFM can be associated with other congenital anomalies like VACTERL (vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities), pulmonary artery sling, esophageal atresia, duodenal atresia, and laryngeal cleft [ [9] , [10] , [11] ]. However, our case did not have any of these associated anomalies.…”

“…Esophageal bronchus is treated with surgical resection of the affected pulmonary lobe and reconstruction of the esophagus. 17 Esophageal lung, is usually treated with separation of the esophageal "main" bronchus, repair of the esophagus and resection of the hypoplastic lung. In both cases re-implantation of either the affected lobe or lung to the trachea is possible.…”

In industrialized countries, most congenital pulmonary malformations are discovered during pregnancy by means of ultrasound screening and confirmed by subsequent MRI. This allows performing prenatal in utero procedures when necessary, facilitates the timely presence of the appropriate health care team at birth and planning of follow up care. However, some malformations are not discovered until later when a complication (infection, unexplained intraoperative hypoxemia, respiratory failure) occurs.The aim of this educational review was to describe the congenital malformations of the large conducting airways. Laryngeal malformations (e.g., laryngeal cleft) and esophageal atresia with or without tracheo-esophageal fistula will not be considered but are referred to previous reviews. 1,2 We will review the origin, development, and impact of these "macro level" malformations and discuss their surgical and anesthetic implications. Although one-lung ventilation will often be considered, it will not be described in detail but referred to elsewhere 3 and also in a separate review in this special issue.

Esophageal Bronchus

Abstract: Communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformations are uncommon anomalies. This report describes a case of "esophageal bronchus" managed successfully in a newborn with a nearly total pneumonectomy.
