title: Tubular esophageal duplication associated with esophageal stenosis, pericardial aplasia, diaphragmatic hernia, ramification anomaly of lower lobe bronchus and partial pancreas anulare.
abstract: Alimentary tract duplications are rare anomalies, which are often associated with other congenital malformations. We report on a newborn with the combination of tubular esophageal duplication, congenital esophageal stenosis, ramification anomaly of lower left lobe bronchus, complete pericardial aplasia and malrotation of the bowel with a partial pancreas anulare. The diagnoses are based on esophagogram, bronchogram, bronchoscopy, gastroscopy, explorative thoracotomy and laparotomy. The treatment was a resection of the duplication per thoracotomy, esophageal myotomy with fundoplicatio.
