An infant with esophageal atresia (EA) had delayed diagnosis of proximal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) and severe tracheomalacia. We recommend bronchoscopy via laryngeal mask or rigid bronchoscopy to rule out associated TEF in infants diagnosed with esophageal atresia, as flexible bronchoscopy via endotracheal tube may not provide complete visualization of the trachea. We also describe a novel cervical approach to tracheopexy via neck incision for treatment of associated severe tracheomalacia in this infant.
一名患有食管闭锁(EA)的婴儿近端气管食管瘘(TEF)诊断延迟且伴有严重气管软化。我们建议对诊断为食管闭锁的婴儿通过喉罩进行支气管镜检查或硬质支气管镜检查以排除相关的气管食管瘘,因为经气管插管的柔性支气管镜检查可能无法完整观察气管。我们还描述了一种通过颈部切口进行气管固定术的新型颈部入路,用于治疗该婴儿相关的严重气管软化。
