Abstract

6 month old child presented with complaints of recurrent respiratory infection, tachypnea and decreased air entry on right side . Xray chest AP view (Fig[1](#fig-cap-0001)) showed opaque right hemithorax with ipsilateral mediastinal shift and compensatory hyperinflation of left lung. Further evaluation with CECT thorax (Fig [2](#fig-cap-0002)) showed hypoplastic right lung with collapse consolidation and right sided mediastinal shift. Bifurcation of trachea was not seen with trachea continuing as left main bronchus with normal segmental division. Right bronchus appears to be arising from lower part of esophagus, precise communication was not demonstrated (Fig [3](#fig-cap-0003)). Conventional contrast (non ionic) esophagogram was performed and free flow of contrast was seen from lower third of esophagus to the right main bronchus (Fig [4](#fig-cap-0004)) confirming the diagnosis of Congenital bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM)
