Congenital bronchopulmonary malinosculations encompass a spectrum of disorders characterized by anomalous connections among the 3 components in the lung-airways, parenchyma, and vessels. This review describes these anomalies using a simplified systematic approach to facilitate understanding and diagnosis. The classification framework, based on the presence or absence of arterial, venous, and bronchial anomalies, organizes malinosculations into 7 groups. Cross-sectional imaging techniques such as CT angiography plays a critical role in delineating anatomical abnormalities, enabling precise identification of malformed components. This systematic approach aids in identifying and managing these complex congenital anomalies, improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.

The Bronchial Tree
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...
