The surgical and anatomical basis for using the colon as a substitute for the esophagus were established in 1911 by Kelling and Vuillet1 and for many years was the technique of choice for esophageal replacement2. Its use is helpful in benign diseases, such as caustic or peptic strictures, and malignancies1,3, especially when the stomach cannot be used, and also in children with congenital anoma...

Introduction: First branchial cleft anomalies manifest with duplication of the external auditory canal.   Case Report: This report features a rare case of microtia and congenital middle ear and canal cholesteatoma with first branchial fistula. External auditory canal stenosis was complicated by middle ear and external canal cholesteatoma, but branchial fistula, opening in the zygomatic root and...

Thrombotic events are very unusual in neonatal period. This congenital anomaly may be caused by certain risk factors such as polycythemia, perinatal asphyxia, septicemia, maternal diabetes, dehydration, and low cardiac output, or it may occur upon catheterization of central lines. A 20-day-old neonate was referred to our ward with primary signs of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP). Echocardiog...

Congenital posterior choanal atresia is an uncommon anomaly which may have lifethreatening consequences. This defect is frequently associated with other congenital abnormalities. CT scan confirms the diagnosis and accurately defines the anatomy of the atresia and differentiates osseous stenosis from membranous stenosis in the choanae. Therefore, CT may be the first-line imaging choice for the p...

introduction: esophageal cancer is a common gastro intestinal malignancy. one of the most common techniques of surgery in esophageal cancer is transhiatal esophagectomy with esophagogastric anastomosis in the neck. this technique is accompanied by complications like chronic gastero-esophegeal reflux and late stenosis. this study was designed to compare the risk of complications after two surgic...

After surgical correction of esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula, esophageal body motility dysfunction has been reported in nearly all patients. Using high-resolution esophageal manometry before surgical repair in 2 children with isolated tracheoesophageal fistula, we sought to determine whether dysmotility was present before any surgical insult to test the hypothesis t...

RATIONALE Congenital esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) ininfants have been treated well with surgery. Approximately 10% of children displayed recurrent fistula. In the present case, we reported recurrent TEF in an adolescent as a complication of EA/TEF in infancy. PATIENT CONCERNS An infant was diagnosed with gross type C congenital EA and TEF and subsequentlyunderwe...

Endoscopic variceal band ligation (EVL) is the endoscopic therapy of choice for esophageal varices. We present a very rare complication of EVL: complete esophageal obstruction [1]. A 64-year-old woman with cirrhosis was admitted for her fourth EVL. During the procedure, esophageal mucosal scarring from previous ligation, mild stenosis of the lower third of the esophagus, and a single large vari...
