Esophageal atresia with tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TEF) occurs in 1 in 3500 live births. Anorectal malformation is found to be associated with 14% of TEF. Esophageal atresia with TEF is a congenital anomaly which classically presents as excessive frothing from the mouth and respiratory distress. Rarely gastric position of the feeding tube in a case of TEF can be obtained delaying the diagnosis of TEF. We had an uncommon situation where a nasogastric tube reached the stomach through the trachea and tracheo-esophageal fistula, leading to misdiagnosis in a case of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula. By using a stiff rubber catheter instead of a soft feeding tube for the diagnosis of esophageal atresia and TEF, such situation can be avoided.
食管闭锁合并气管食管瘘(TEF)在每3500例活产中出现1例。发现肛门直肠畸形与14%的TEF有关。食管闭锁合并TEF是一种先天性异常,典型表现为口腔过度泡沫和呼吸窘迫。在TEF病例中,饲管罕见地进入胃内,可导致TEF诊断延迟。我们遇到了一种不常见的情况,即一根鼻胃管通过气管和气管食管瘘进入胃内,导致一例食管闭锁合并气管食管瘘病例误诊。通过使用硬橡胶导管而非软饲管来诊断食管闭锁和TEF,可避免这种情况。
