Abstract
We report herein the cases of two infants who developed right pneumonectomy syndrome, both of whom were born with gross C-type esophageal atresia (EA/TEF), and a hypoplastic right lung arising from the lower esophagus, being a bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (BPFM). Appropriate and well-timed treatments for a variety of sequelae primarily caused by the mediastinal shift must be considered after right pneumonectomy in early childhood.Entities:
