[Diagnosis and treatment of congenital isolated tracheoesophageal fistula].

Abstract

The specific features of the diagnosis, clinical picture, and treatment of congenital isolated tracheoesophageal fistula are described. The informativeness of esophagography with limitation of the esophageal area with obturators in noted left cervical oblique-transverse supraclavicular approach is optimal for operative separation of the fistula. One child who did not undergo operative treatment died from severe: aspiration pneumonia.
