An unusual case of congenital oesophageal atresia.
نویسنده
چکیده
Atresia of the oesophagus, which has been widely discussed within the last ten years, has been intrathoracic and the site of the atresia has been at or just above the level of the tracheal bifurcation (Haight and Towsley, 1943; Haight, 1948; Franklin, 1949; Gross, 1953; Borrie, 1953). Our case is unusual because the site of the tracheal oesophageal communication is in the neck and the surgical approach was quite different to the ordinary oesophageal atresia.
