Two cases of broncho-pulmonary foregut malformations

Abstract

SUMMARY. Congenital broncho-pulmonary malformations are mostly asymptomatic. They are diagnosed during the investigation of a pulmonary infection or after a chest x-ray. Fetal ultrasound, chest x-ray, ventilation-perfusion scan, CT, MRI, barium meal, esophagoscopy, bronchoscopy and digital angiography can be used for further investigation. Surgical excision was our treatment of choice and had a significally good prognosis. Pneumon 2009; 22(2):178–185
