  • Title: Review of bronchopulmonary foregut malformations.
    Author: Fowler CL, Pokorny WJ, Wagner ML, Kessler MS.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1988 Sep; 23(9):793-7. PubMed ID: 3183889.
    Abstract:
    The term bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (BFM) describes rare cases of pulmonary sequestrations that communicate with the upper gastrointestinal tract. An unusual type of BFM is described; it consisted of esophageal atresia, proximal and distal tracheoesophageal fistulae, and bilateral extralobar pulmonary sequestrations communicating with a common bronchial structure that replaced the distal esophagus. This case is related to other reported cases in the literature, and serves as the basis for a proposed theory of the embryonic development of BFM.
