Abstract
Two preterm neonates were referred to our institution, one with suspected oesophageal atresia and one with the definite diagnosis of oesophageal atresia for further treatment. Diagnostic procedures identified an iatrogenic perforation of the oesophagus which was caused by a feeding tube in both patients. The treatment was based on broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and parenteral nutrition. The perforations healed without long term sequelae.
