Missed Proximal Tracheoesophageal Fistula (TEF) in a Neonate with Type D Esophageal Atresia

Abstract: We present the case of a patient with the rare type D esophageal atresia (EA), diagnosed after correction of an EA initially diagnosed as type C. Routine postoperative contrast esophagogram showed a missed proximal tracheoesophageal fistula. This case report illustrates the potential difficulties to diagnose type D EA.
