The anomalous origin of bronchus from the esophagus: Report of three cases

“…All patients have been treated by surgery (pneumonectomy or lobectomy) or died [3,5]. In our study, the first symptoms were pulmonary infection and/or respiratory failure occurring during feeding [2,6]. Standard radiographs revealed alveolar opacities including an air bronchogram [2,5,7,8] with mediastinal shift [9] toward the pathological side.…”

“…A bronchus arising from the esophagus is a rare malformation with a well-described embryogenesis [2][3][4]. Forty-six observations of esophageal bronchi have been reported in the literature [3,5].…”

Esophageal lung associated with VACTERL anomaly: a case report

“…Chronic cough, recurrent pneumonias and respiratory distress are the most common presentations. 2 Bronchiectasis, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, dysphagia and hemoptysis may also be the presenting symptoms rarely. Accordingly, the index case falls into group II where the entire right lobe of lung was arising from the esophagus, was not associated with a trachea-esophageal fistula and supplied by branches of pulmonary artery.…”

“…Less than 25 cases have been reported so far in literature. [1][2][3][4] Majority of the cases have been associated with esophageal atresia. 1,2 Most cases are treated with detachment of the esophageal bronchus, with repair of the esophagus and resection of the hypoplastic lung.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Majority of the cases have been associated with esophageal atresia. 1,2 Most cases are treated with detachment of the esophageal bronchus, with repair of the esophagus and resection of the hypoplastic lung. We present a case of isolated unilateral esophageal lung that was associated with a bifid thoracic vertebra, an ectopic right kidney and a patent foramen ovale (VACTERL group of anomalies).…”
