Abstract

In 1968, Gerle introduced the term “bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (BPFM)” in connection with pulmonary sequestration with a communication with the esophagus or stomach. BPFM has recently been proposed to apply to all abnormalities of the tracheobronchial tree originating during development from the foregut. Communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM) is defined by congenital communication between the esophagus or stomach and an isolated part of the airway.
