Tracheoesophageal fistulas without atresia of the esophagus are rare abnormalities of the upper gastrointestinal tract with an incidence rate of between 1% and 5%. Even more infrequent are 2 tracheoesophageal fistulas without atresia of the esophagus. This case report illustrates the history of an infant with 2 tracheoesophageal fistulas. The corresponding literature was reviewed, and a diagnostic algorithm was described. |
