| Congenital esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula is a rare congenital anomaly that occurs in one per 3000 live births and consist of esophageal discontinuity with or without connection to the trachea. Approximately 92% of patients with esophageal atresia have a tracheoesophageal fistula, which is a congenital fistulous connection between the esophagus and the trachea or a main bronchus. This patient presented with episodes of choking and cyanosis after every feed, respiratory difficulty and a distended abdomen. The plain radiograph of the chest including the abdomen was done where the stomach appeared to be markedly distended with air. The contrast meal performed showed a blind ended esophagus with a coiled feeding tube and pool of contrast in the blind ended esophagus. We present the radiologic findings of this case due to its rare nature and peculiar features. |
