ABSTRACT

En este artículo se reporta el caso de un lactante menor de 2 meses de edad que a los 15 días de nacido presentó estridor y dificultad respiratoria, por lo que consultó a una clínica de primer nivel en donde se le realizó radiografía de tórax, en la cual se documentó la presencia de una hiperinfiación del campo pulmonar derecho. Se realizó una fibrobroncoscopía óptica (FBO) que fue reportada como normal y una gammagrafía de ventilación/perfusión que reportó una hipoplasia pulmonar derecha. Fue manejado con oxígeno suplementario y terapias respiratorias sin mejoría clínica, motivo por el cual fue trasladado a nuestra institución para manejo especializado. Con el fin de obtener un mapa vascular pre quirúrgico, se realizó una angiografía pulmonar por tomografía (Figura 2) reconstrucciones con mínima intensidad de proyección (Figura 3) y broncoscopía virtual (BV) multicorte (Figuras 4 y 5) documentándose una estenosis del bronquio fuente derecho, producida por un repliegue de la pared bronquial y con efecto de válvula que producía una hiperinsufiación secundaria del pulmón derecho. Estos hallazgos fueron confirmados en la cirugía correctiva.


This article describes the case of an infant under 2 months old, who at 15 days of age presented stridor and respiratory distress, a chest X-ray was performed which reported the presence of a hyperinflation of the right lung field. A fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FBO) was performed which resulted normal and a ventilation/perfusion gammagraph showed a right lung hypoplasia. The infant was treated with additional oxygen and respiratory therapy without clinical. In order to obtain a pre-surgical vascular map, a multislice CT angiography and virtual bronchoscopy were performed, documenting a right bronchial stenosis produced by a fold of the bronchial wall and with valve effect which produced a secondary hyperinsufflation of the right lung. These findings were confirmed in corrective surgery.

ABSTRACT

Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula is a rare clinical entity in adults. This anomaly may cause various symptoms such as respiratory infections, coughing bouts when eating or drinking, and even hemoptysis. The fistula can cause symptoms in childhood but may not appear until adulthood. We recently experienced a case of congenital bronchoesophageal fistula associated with esophageal diverticulum in an adult. A 63-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to chest discomfort, sore throat and coughing bouts when eating. An empyema with lung abscess had occurred eight years previously. Results of the physical examination were unremarkable. A Barium swallowing revealed a medium-sized diverticulum at the right anterior aspect of the esophagus, which had developed a fistulous connection with the right lower lobe bronchus. The patient was treated by fistulectomy and lobectomy of the right lower lobe. The postoperative course was smooth and uneventful.
