Abstract

A 12-day-old boy born at 33 weeks' gestation was referred to surgery because of desaturation with nasogastric feeding. A “pull-back” esophagogram was performed that showed an H-type tracheoesophageal fistula (Fig 1).On day 13 of life, the fistula tract was isolated and divided via a right cervical approach. Post-operatively, the patient had a normal contrast swallowing study, and subsequently tolerated oral feedings.
