Tracheal and esophageal atresia with trachea-esophageal fistula – A rare co-occurrence with high mortality
We present a rare case of simultaneous esophageal and tracheal atresia with trachea-esophageal fistula in a premature infant with VACTERL association. Although multiple surgical interventions were attempted in the management of this patient, the patient expired, reflecting the low survival rates ass...
