Esophageal atresia is often associated with other anomalies. Hereditary and environmental factors may influence the incidence of associated anomalies, particularly of the urogenital system. We had 63 neonates with esophageal atresia admitted to 2 centers in Hamadan, Iran, from 2002 to 2008. They were 38 girls (60.3%) and 25 boy (39.7%). Tracheoesophageal fistula was present in 54 neonates (85.7...

Esophageal atresia remains one of the most challenging congenital anomalies of the newborn. In recent years, because of the advances in prenatal diagnosis, neonatal critical care, and surgical procedures, overall outcomes have improved substantially, including for premature children. Nowadays, most of the research is focused on medium- and long-term morbidity, with particular reference to respi...

The aim of the study. Authors present their own experience in the treatment of ultra long-gap esophageal atresia using combined Kimura’s and Foker’s methods, while the latter one to our best knowledge has been used for the first time in Poland. material and methods. Multi-stage process of treatment was used in four patients. In three of them, in case of previous spit fistula presence, Foker’s a...

Background: Neonatal intestinal atresia is commonly encountered congenital anomaly in the early days of life. Imaging is important for early diagnosis. Objective: This study was conducted for detecting radiological findings of different types of upper gastro-intestinal atresia (other than esophageal atresia) in correlation with surgical data. Patients and Methods: From April 2009 to April 2014,...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Goldenhar's syndrome is a polymalformative condition consisting of a craniofacial dysostosis that determines difficult airway in up to 40% of cases. We described a case of a newborn with Goldenhar's syndrome with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula who underwent repair surgery. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 24-h-old newborn with Goldenhar's syndrom...

BACKGROUND The antenatal diagnosis of a combined esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula and duodenal atresia with or without gastric perforation is a rare occurrence. These diagnoses are difficult and can be suspected on ultrasound by nonspecific findings including a small stomach and polyhydramnios. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging adds significant anatomical detail and can aid i...

This case report describes a patient with a 22q11.2 duplication. His features, which include VACTERL association with an esophageal atresia/tracheo-esophageal fistula and a vascular ring, expand the previously described phenotype for this duplication.

Two cases of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) developed after a few weeks of repair of an esophageal atresia and tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA and TEF). Both cases were dealt successfully with laparoscopic pyloromyotomy.

Background: Esophageal perforation is uncommon and often iatrogenic in the neonatal period, premature low birth weight infants (<1500 g) are particularly susceptible. injury neonates usually occurs at pharyngoesophageal junction can be confused with esophageal atresia due to respiratory signs excessive salivation. Diagnostic evaluation treatment still debated. 
 Case Presentation: This ...

Esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) associated with distal congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is a well-known entity. We encountered three patients of EA/TEF associated with long and unusual CES.
