Abstract
Oesophageal atresia, with or without tracheoesophageal fistula, is the most common congenital malformation of the oesophagus. Oesophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula represent a complex of congenital anomalies characterised by a failure of formation of the tubular oesophagus and/or an abnormal communication between the oesophagus and trachea. The precise cause is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a developmental disorder in formation and separation of the primitive foregut into trachea and oesophagus. Oesophageal atresia may be suspected if a nasogastric tube cannot be passed in a newborn infant with excessive oral secretions.
