Tracheoesophageal Fistula and Esophageal Atresia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Incidence The incidence of congenital tracheoesophageal malformations in the U.S. is approximately one in every 4,500 births. In some areas of the world (i.e., Finland), the incidence may be as high as one in 2,440 births. Tracheoesophageal fistula and esophageal atresia affects males slightly more commonly than females (1.26:1). Although most cases of tracheoesophageal anomalies are sporadic, familial patterns of inheritance are reported. About 6% of infants with tracheoesophageal malformations are twins. Parents with one affected child have a 0.5-2% chance of a tracheoesophageal anomaly affecting subsequent offspring. If more than one offspring is affected, the risk is 20%. Newborns with a parent having history of TEF/EA are affected 3-4% of the time.

متن کاملAntenatal diagnosis of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula.
The antenatal diagnosis of esophageal atresia by the presence of polyhydramnios and an absent stomach bubble is well documented. A significant number of esophageal atresias are associated with a tracheoesophageal fistula. In these cases, the diagnosis of esophageal atresia can be missed on a prenatal ultrasonogram since the fluidfilled stomach is seen. We present a case of esophageal atresia wi...
