Cervical esophageal duplication cysts are uncommon congenital malformations, and those with air-fluid level are rarely reported. We describe here a case of cervicothoracic esophageal duplication cyst manifesting air-fluid level on Computed Tomography (CT) in a 6-month-old girl. The preoperative diagnosis was suspected as esophageal duplication or abscess. The postoperative pathological diagnosi...

Congenital tracheoesophageal fistulas are a common congenital anomaly that is usually diagnosed prenatally or during the neonatal period. The condition is usually characterized by an esophageal atresia associated with a communication between the trachea and the esophagus. Maternal polyhydramnios is commonly seen in cases of esophageal atresia. The diagnosis can be confirmed prenatally by ultras...
