Esophageal Atresia without Tracheoesophageal Fistula: Radiographic Evaluation
نویسنده
چکیده
Esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula is a rare esophageal anomaly in children. We have successfully applied three-dimensional technique of computed tomography on four consecutive babies with this anomaly in order to accurately measure the length of the gap between the two esophageal segments, which is important for preoperative plan and the feasibility and timing of delayed primary anastomosis.

متن کاملEndoscopic Airway Evaluation in Congenital Tracheoesophageal Fistula - Pediatric airway endoscopy
Introduction. The communication between the trachea and esophagus is called tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). It can occurs as a congenital malformation (0.025-0.05%) (in particular related to the esophageal atresia) or can occurs as an acquired pathology. Endoscopic evaluation is the gold standard for the diagnosis of TEF and must be performed, in presence of symptoms such as choking, coughing,...
