Abstract
We report herein the cases of two infants who developed right pneumone ctomy syndrome, both of whom were born with gross C-type esophageal at resia (EA/TEF), and a hypoplastic right lung arising from the lower es ophagus, being a bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (BPFM). Appropr iate and well-timed treatments for a variety of sequelae primarily cau sed by the mediastinal shift must be considered after right pneumonect omy in early childhood.
