Proximal congenital esophageal stenosis associated with tracheo-esophageal fistula

Abstract

Congenital esophageal stenosis (ces) and Tracheo-esophageal fistula are rare types of congenital anomalies who have its origin in the embryological development of the trachea and the esophagus at the sixth and seventh weeks of gestation. These anomalies are often not diagnosed until months or sometimes years after birth. In this article we present you an unusual type of proximal CES combined with TEF at the same level of stenosis that was diagnosed in 5th day of life.
