THE infrequency of a tracheal agenesis, which is commonly associated with other congenital anomalies, was emphasized by the 18th reported case.¹

Nine patients with the anomaly of an accessory cardiac bronchus were found during routine bronchoscopies for other diseases.² These findings, confirmed by bronchography, revealed the supernumerary bronchus located solely on the medial wall of the right intermediate bronchus in its superior half in seven cases and in its distal half in two cases. From the point of origin, the bronchus ran caudally towards the mediastinum with normal walls, mucosa, and cartilaginous rings. The opening of the orifice was similar to a segmental division, and the length was short in six cases, ending in a blind pouch, while in the other three it was much longer. There were no collaterals and an additional anomalous bronchus was present in two cases.
