متن کاملAn unusual variation of oesophageal atresia.
Congenital anomalies of the oesophagus were once thought to be relatively rare. Plass in 1919 reported one case and in an exhaustive review of the literature found 136 fully verified cases; he stated that there was some variation in the minor details of the anomaly, but the general picture was uniform -a blind upper pouch ending at a level between the lower border of the larynx and the tracheal...
متن کاملLung function abnormalities in repaired oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula.
BACKGROUND Respiratory complications are common after neonatal repair of oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula. The prevalence of lung function abnormalities and the relation between gastrointestinal complications and lung function has not been studied in a large number of patients. METHODS Lung volumes and flow-volume loops were measured in 155 patients without spinal curvature...
متن کاملOffspring of patients with tracheo-oesophageal fistula.
One previous study has shown that the proportion affected of sibs of index patients with tracheo-oesophageal fistula is low. The survivors of the first successful operations for tracheooesophageal fistula are now reaching adult life, thus making possible a preliminary estimate of the proportion affected of children of index patients. From the records of two London hospitals a list of 99 consecu...
