Tracheo-oesophageal anomalies in the Goldenhar anomalad.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of the Goldenhar anomalad is presented with a previously undescribed association with oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula. This is the second instance of a tracheobronchial-oesophageal communication being found in association with the anomalad. Awareness of this combination may facilitate future diagnosis and treatment of the anomaly.

Oesophageal atresia and/or tracheo-oesophageal fistula are relatively common malformations occurring in approximately 1 in 3500 births. In around half of the cases (syndromic oesophageal atresia), there are associated anomalies, with cardiac malformations being the most common. In the remainder (non-syndromic cases), oesophageal atresia/tracheo-oesophageal fistula occur in isolation. Data from ...

Animal models are of great importance for medical research. They have enabled analysis of the aetiology and pathogenesis of complex congenital malformations and have also led to major advances in the surgical and therapeutic management of these conditions. Animal models allow us to comprehend the morphological and molecular basis of disease and consequently to discover novel approaches for both...

Oesophageal atresia and/or tracheo-oesophageal fistula are common malformations occurring in approximately 1 in 3500 births. In around half of cases (syndromic oesophageal atresia), there are other associated anomalies, with cardiac malformations being the most common. These may occur as part of the VACTERL association (OMIM 192350). In the remainder of cases, oesophageal atresia/tracheo-oesoph...

Of 142 patients of known gestation with oesophageal atresia or tracheo-oesophageal fistula, 21% were preterm with a mean weight of 2 kg, 19% were small-for-dates with a mean weight of 2.23 kg, and the remaining 60% were born at term and weighed more than 2.5 kg. There were almost five times as many preterm and almost eight times as many small-for-date infants as in a normal population. Respirat...
