Abstract
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of high frequency ultrasound combined with esophageal filling in neonates with congenital esophageal atresia. Methods Fifty-eight newborns who were suspected with congenital esophageal atresia underwent ultrasound, the surgical results considered as the gold standard , then the ultrasound features of the congenital esophageal atresia were summarized. Results Seven cases were the type Ⅰ of the congenital esophageal atresia, 1 case belongs to type Ⅱ, 40 cases were considered as type Ⅲ, 4 cases were classified type Ⅳ and 6 cases were type Ⅴ, the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in congenital esophageal atresia was 96.55% and the classification accuracy was 89.65%. Conclusions High frequency ultrasound combined with esophageal filling has a high accuracy and can be used as a new diagnostic method in diagnosing neonates with congenital esophageal atresia, and it′s worthy of further research and promotion.
