Bronchopulmonary foregut malformation in 3 infants--with special references to cases in childhood.

We encountered three infant patients with bronchopulmonary foregut malformation. Two of them were associated with oesophageal atresia, and the remaining one with jejunal atresia. Two of the patients showed total lung sequestration, and the rest showed intralobar sequestration. 37 paediatric cases of this type were reviewed from the literature. Total lung sequestration was observed in 19 of the 37 cases, showing an increase in the incidence in comparison with that reported previously. There were also 7 cases associated with oesophageal atresia.
