Long proximal pouch oesophageal atresia with tracheo-oesophageal fistula, a diagnostic dilemma: case report

Oesophageal Atresia with Double Tracheo-oesophageal Fistula.

Low birthweight babies with oesophageal atresia or tracheo-oesophageal fistula.

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...

The management of congenital oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula.

Interest in the surgical treatment of congenital atresia of the oesophagus was aroused in this country by the publication of Franklin's paper (1947) in which he reported two infants with oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula successfully operated on by the extra-pleural approach. The fistula was closed and primary oesophageal anastomosis was performed. Franklin estimated the occur...

Right sided aorta associated with tracheo-oesophageal fistula and oesophageal atresia.

Case 1 Born at 40 weeks gestation, weight 2.46 kg. Abnormalities-TOF (proximal atresia with distal fistula). TOF was repaired by ligation of the fistula and single layer interrupted nylon anastomosis of the proximal pouch and distal oesophagus on day one via a right thoracotomy at which a right sided aorta was recognised. Cardiac catheterization in the post-operative period showed right sided a...
