Abstract
|
|
|
The eophageal atresia with tracheoesphageal fistula occurs approximately once in 3000 live births.
In Korea, less than 20 cases were reported with two successful surgical correction.
The atresia characteristically occurs at the level of, or just cephalad to, the carina and is associated
with a tracheoesophageal fistula.
In about 90% of the cases, the upper esophagus ends in a blind pouch, and the lower esophageal
segment communicates with the trachea through the membranous posterior wall just above the carina.
Many of the infants with esophageal atresia have other congenital anomalies. The most common of
these are congenital cardiac anomalies, imperforate anus, genitourinary malformations, and intestinal
atresia.
Recently we experienced a successful surgical correction in an infant with the exophageal atresia
and a tracheoesophageal fistula (Gross type C).
