Concurrent bronchopulmonary foregut malformations. A rare occurrence.
The incidence of multiple or bilateral bronchopulmonary foregut malformations is unusual, and has rarely been reported in the literature. The presence of symptomatic concurrent, different malformations in the same patient, as described here, has not been previously reported. The spectrum of these congenital lesions is wide, and each form may present with its own set of symptoms. This may lead to a complex clinical picture requiring extensive and varied imaging evaluation.
