Congenital intrathoracic bronchopulmonary foregut malformations in childhood. 1979

D J O'Connell, and J Kelleher

Bronchopulmonary foregut malformations (BPFM) are a group of related disorders. They include tracheoesophageal fistula with or without atresia, bronchopulmonary sequestration, intestinal duplication cyst, bronchogenic cyst, aberrant systemic arterial supply to the lung, and bronchial mucosal rests in the esophagus. This paper describes 12 cases which illustrate the spectrum of clinical and radiographic features of these anomalies. The embryogenesis of these malformations is reviewed and appropriate radiographic investigation is discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007223	Infant	A child between 1 and 23 months of age.	Infants
D008168	Lung	Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood.	Lungs
D008297	Male		Males
D011656	Pulmonary Emphysema	Enlargement of air spaces distal to the TERMINAL BRONCHIOLES where gas-exchange normally takes place. This is usually due to destruction of the alveolar wall. Pulmonary emphysema can be classified by the location and distribution of the lesions.

D001980	Bronchi	The larger air passages of the lungs arising from the terminal bifurcation of the TRACHEA. They include the largest two primary bronchi which branch out into secondary bronchi, and tertiary bronchi which extend into BRONCHIOLES and PULMONARY ALVEOLI.

D001995	Bronchography	Radiography of the bronchial tree after injection of a contrast medium.	Bronchographies
D001998	Bronchopulmonary Sequestration	A developmental anomaly in which a mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue lacks normal connection with the tracheobroncheal tree and receives an anomalous blood supply originating from the descending thoracic or abdominal aorta. The mass may be extralobar, i.e., completely separated from normally connected lung, or intralobar, i.e., partly surrounded by normal lung.
