기관지 식도루를 동반한 내엽형 폐격리증 -1예 보고-

We have experienced a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration communicating with the esophagus. A 24 year old female patient was admitted of chronic cough related to food, purrlent sputum and left lower chest pain. Esophagography and bronchography revealed bronchoesophageal fistula and bronchiectasis with cystic lesion of the left lower lobe. There was multiple anomalous feeding vessels arinig from the intercostal arteries and no draining systemic vein on aortography. division of the bronchoesophageal fistula and left lower lobectomy was performed. Communication with the esophagus in rarely associated with intralobar pulmonary sequestration and esophagogram is useful method of diagnosis for this communication.
