Abstract

Communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM) is a rare abnormality that is characterized by persistent communication between the bronchial tree and the gastrointestinal tract. We report a case of CBPFM in a young girl, with a description of the imaging and surgical details and a short review of the relevant literature.
