ABSTRACT

Esophageal atresia remains one of the most challenging congenital anomalies of the newborn. It can occur with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), and to date, there are still no universally recommended diagnostic procedures. The so-called H-type TEF is that without esophageal atresia, and its prevalence is lower than 5% of all TEFs. We present a case repor t of a newborn with regurgitation, vomiting, feeding problems, dyspnea, and repeated aspiration bronchopneumonia. A wide range of diagnostics procedures had been performed with negative results until we used videofluoroscopy, which revealed the H-type TEF and allowed appropriate treatment of the patient.
