Abstract

We have experienced four cases of congenital esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal ■fistula during the period of 3 years from Mar, 1979 to Sep. 1981, who were hospitalized at Dong San Hospital. The diagnosis was confirmed by esophagography, operation and autopsy. All four cases had upper blind pouch and lower tracheoesophageal fistula. Combined anomalities were aberrent subclavian artery, imperporated anus, estopic anus, hemivertebrae, polydactyly. Only one of four cases has been living healthy after the operation (ligation of tracheoso- phageal fistula and 셨nd to end anastomosis of esophagus). The other three cases were died because of aspiration pneumonia and cardie arrest.
