  • Title: [Tracheobronchial and pulmonary parenchymatous congenital abnormalities requiring surgical treatment in adults].
    Author: Mordant P, De Dominicis F, Berna P, Riquet M.
    Journal: Rev Pneumol Clin; 2012 Apr; 68(2):110-6. PubMed ID: 22361066.
    Abstract:
    Most tracheobronchial and parenchymatous congenital abnormalities of the respiratory system are diagnosed in early life. However, some lesions may be initially silent and diagnosed only in adulthood. These cases included congenital abnormalies of the tracheobronchial tract (tracheal and/or bronchial stenosis, bronchogenic cysts, bronchial atresia, oesotracheal fistula, oesobronchial fistula, and tracheal diverticulum), and lung parenchyma itself (pulmonary sequestration, congenital cystic adenomatoïd malformation, lobar emphysema, lobar or lung hypoplasia). To avoid dreadful complications, these rare cases deserve surgical management, and must be known by chest physicians and surgeons.
