Tracheoesophageal fistula: a case report

W G Chernoff et al. Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol. 1993 Aug.

Abstract

Tracheoesophageal fistula without atresia (H-type) is a known but uncommon cause of respiratory distress in the newborn. We present a rare case of a high cervical tracheoesophageal fistula unassociated with a laryngeal cleft or esophageal atresia. The diagnosis, associated anomalies, and surgical repair of this previously undescribed entity are discussed.
