Five neonates with esophageal atresia and absence of gas on abdominal radiographs were each found to have an apparently obliterated distal tracheoesophageal fistula without a long gap between the esophageal ends. Four were treated by primary repair of the esophagus, and one underwent esophageal replacement, although it is conceivable that primary repair could have been achieved if the correct diagnosis had been made at presentation. This variant of tracheoesophageal fistula can be expected in at least 14% of patients presenting with a gasless abdomen.
五例食管闭锁且腹部X线片显示无气体的新生儿，均发现远端气管食管瘘明显闭塞，食管两端之间无长段间隙。四例接受了食管一期修复，一例接受了食管置换，尽管可以想象，如果在就诊时做出正确诊断，一期修复本可成功。至少14%表现为无气腹的患者可能出现这种气管食管瘘变体。
