Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1917, Vol. 14 Caaes of other types have also been reported by Morse, Dun, Pritchard and Drew, Rogers, Whipham and Fagge, Rotch, and Umber. Malformations of this region may be subdivided into various groups, as follows: I. Complete absence, generally associated with gross malformations as in monsters; 8 cases are on record. (1) Cooper: 'Traite d'Anat. path., ' i., p. 475 (quoted by Griffith and Lavenson). (2) Heath: 'London Mod. Gaz., ' 1840, xxvi, p. 548 (a brief reference only). (3) Lozach: 'Journ. Univ. des Sei. Med., ' 1810, iii, p. 187. (4) Mackenzie: 'Diseases of the Throat and Nose, 1884, ii, p. 217. (5) Mellor: 'London Med. Gaz., ' 1840, xxvi, p. 542. (6) Mondiere: 'Hufeland's Journal, ' 1820, L. ii, p. 123 (quoted by Griffith and Lavenson). (7) Sonderland: 'Harless's Rheinische Jahrbucher, ' 1819, i, p. 198; and 'Hufoland's Journal, ' 1820, ii, p. 138. (8) Tiedemann: 'Anatomie kopfloser Missgeburten' (quoted by Schoeller). II. Double sophagus, with reunion at the lower end, is still more rare. Blasius published one such case. In Kathe's case there appeared to be a narrow supplemental lumen in the wall of the tube. (1) Blasius: 'Observata anatom, pract. in homine, Ludg. Batav. et Amster., ' 1674, Tab. XV, fig. 6. (2) Kathe: 'Virchow's Archiv, ' 1907, cxc, p. 78. III. Diverticula or pouches, pharyngeal rather than oesophageal, being situated posteriorly at the junction of the pharynx and oesophagus. They are found in later life, more often in men than women, and not in children. Possibly there may be a primary congenital weakness or deficiency of muscle at the point of origin, or they may develop from an imperfectly closed branchial fissure. IV. Cysts have been described by Hebb and H. M. Fletcher. Hebb's specimen is in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeous. It is about 20 min. in diameter, lined by epithelium like that of the trachea, with a wall chiefly of muscular tissue and mucous membrane. It was obtained from a woman, aged 31 years, who died from heart disease, and was situated in the upper part of the sophagus, in the angle between it and the trachea, about 11/2 in. below the left lobe of the thyroid. It arose during separation of the trachea from the sophagus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
