Abstract

A baby was diagnosed with esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) on the next day after birth, and end-to-end anastomosis of esophagus with TEF ligation was performed. The distance between proximal and distal esophageal pouch was checked as 3 vertebral body lengths and a 1 cm-sized bronchogenic cyst (BC) was identified near carina on the right side, just below the proximal esophageal pouch. This case report described the baby who have a BC was located between the both esophageal pouch and a longer esophageal gap than usual EA with distal TEF.

Keywords: Esophageal atresia, Tracheoesophageal fistula, Bronchogenic cyst

Figures and Tables

Fig. 1

Infantogram shows coiling of the feeding tube, suggesting esophageal atresia (black arrowheads). Patchy opacity in the right lower lung is observed (white arrow).

Fig. 3

Pathologic findings of cystic mass were consistent with bronchogenic cyst (H&E). (A, B) Histological photographs show fibromuscular walls (A: ×10, B: ×40). (C) The cyst wall is lined by respiratory epithelium (ciliated psuedostratified columnar epithelium) (×100). (D) The cyst wall contains seromucinous bronchial glands (×100).
