We present a case of lung torsion after tracheoesophageal fistula repair in an infant. Bloody secretion from the endotracheal tube and chest radiographs and computed tomographic scan results indicated lung torsion. Emergency...

H-type tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is extremely rare in infants and children, and clinical manifestations of this condition are diverse based on its severity. Some cases of congenital TEF diagnosed in adulthood have been reported, which indicate the difficulty of early diagnosis of this disease. Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) may induce chronic aspiration, pulmonary aspiration, apparent life-threatening events, and failure to thrive....

The congenital esophageal atresia with proximal tracheoesophageal fistula is a developmental defect with incomplete septation of the foregut of embryonic period and is often associated with other congenital anomaly. We experienced a case of the esophageal atresia with proximal tracheoesophageal fistula in a 1-day old male patient who was transferred from an obstetric clinic due to respiratory distress soon after birth. The baby was treated...

Absence of both lung is very rare and is incompatible with life. Unilateral or bilateral agenesis of the lung often associated with the skeletal, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and genitourinary anomalies. H-type tracheoesophageal fistula in...

Esophageal atresia occurs once in 3000-4500 live births. These anomalies are thought to arise from defective differentiation of the primitive foregut into trachea and esophagus. defective growth of entodermal cells leading to atresia and an incomplete fusion of the lateral walls of the foregut to form a tracheoesophageal fistula. A full-term male baby was admitted to Guro Hospital with chief complaints of respiratory difficulty, chocking,...

To study the clinical characteristics of esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula, we carried out a retrospective review on medical records of 39 patients who were diagnosed as that by the operation, autopsy or radiolgy at the department of Pediatrics and Pediatric Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital between January 1980 and June 1987. The results were summarized as follows; 1) Type A was most common (94.8%) among...

Esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula is a rare congenital anomaly. A case of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula in premature infant was experienced at Han II hospital. The diagnosis was suspected by difficulty in insertion of oropharyngeal tube in operating room and was confirmed by esophagogram. Fluid and antibiotics were given immediately, but the patient expired on nineth day after...

Tracheoesophageal fistula is rare congenital anomaly. A 3 days old female infant was admitted to our department of pediatrics because of mild dyspnea, vomiting and dehydration. T-E fistula was suspected by simple chest X-ray after insertion of the rubber catheter into the esophagus and confirmed by esophagogram with Dionosil. Total correction was promptly performed but 9 days later, gastrostomy was done because of leakage at the...
