Rare Congenital Anomaly

Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) without associated esophageal atresia (EA) is a rare congenital anomaly.  Most of the children are treated for episodes of pneumonia prior to definitive diagnosis.  A 5 months infant presented with recurrent pneumonia and diagnosis of H type TEF was made with contrast esophagram.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v34i1.8517   J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2014;34(1):71-73

Type C

Esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF) is a well-known congenital anomaly and Type C variety of gross classification is the most common. Even for Type C variety, anatomy of upper pouch and lower pouch is not always the same. We are presenting three cases of Type C EA-TEF with unusual anatomy. In this type, upper pouch crosses over the lower pouch for a significant length. The cases are described here to highlight this variant of Type C EA-TEF which produces diagnostic dilemma. An early diagnosis of this variant, prevents morbidity and mortality.

Dimensional Reconstruction

A 32+4-week-preterm neonate was operated on day 1 for esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula with a tight primary anastomosis and closure of a tracheoesophageal fistula. Postoperatively, he needed ventilation for 6 days. Post-extubation, he needed continuous positive airway pressure support for increased work of breathing, increasing oxygen requirement, and respiratory acidosis when respiratory support was weaned. Further, during the post-operative period, he had right hemidiaphragmatic paresis and acute lifethreatening events requiring manual high-pressure, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation resuscitation. These complications were considered, and a computed tomography assisted by three-dimensional reconstruction was performed. This revealed a congenital tracheal diverticulum and severe tracheomalacia which was confirmed with microlaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy. The presentation and the diagnostic dilemma surrounding this rare diagnosis are discussed in this case report.
