The association of a diaphragmatic hernia and a pulmonary sequestration is known, though very rare. The authors present one singular observation because it were involved in aplasia of the homolateral pillar and a digestive duplication. They insist about the gravity of the reflux inherent to the malformation; they suggest its differed cure in spite of nutritional difficulties. Pathogenic considerations are advanced on that malformative complexe which is combined with the broncho-pulmonaries malformations of the foregut. It seems a direct proof of the theory of "the accessory lung". Finally, is underlined the gravity of the aplasia of the diaphragmatic leaf extensive to the pillar.
