Abstract
|
|
|
We have experienced a case of communicating bronchopulmonary malformation. A 35-year-old female patient was admitted for coughing with sputum. About eight years ago, she had treated for bronchiectasis with medication. Chest computed tomography
revealed
esophagopulmonary communication with upper esophageal dilatation and bronchiectasis of the left lower lobe. A about 3 mm diameteded abnormal feeding vessel from descending thoracic aorta to the left lower lobe was detected at operation. Division
and
closure of the communication between the esophagus and left lower lobe was performed.
Communicating bronchopulmonary malformation is the rare form of pulmonary sequestion and chest computed tomography is one of the useful diagnostic methods for pulmonary sequestion.
