The anomalous origin of bronchus from the esophagus: report of three cases.
Two cases of esophageal lung and one case of esophageal bronchus are described. The diagnosis was established by esophagogram and fibroscopy. In the newborn period in two cases reimplantation of the main bronchus in the trachea was performed with favorable evolution. In the third case diagnosis was made in the patient at 1 month of age and a right upper lobectomy was performed.
