A new type of laryngotracheoesophageal cleft with extended bronchoesophageal cleft.
A case of total laryngotracheoesophageal cleft with extended fronchoesophageal cleft is reported. The baby had a long cleft not only on the whole length of the laryngotracheoesophagus but it also extended to the right lower bronchus and esophagus. It was associated with right upper bronchial stenosis, sequestration of right lower lobe, and a complex cardiovascular anomaly. There have been no reports of this extended type of cleft in the 59 reported cases.
