Abstract:
A case of esophageal atresia associated with malrotation and segmental dilatation of the ileum is described. To our knowledge, this is the first such report of this combination of features. The prenatal sonogram showed polyhydramnios. Esophageal atresia was diagnosed 3 days after birth. The diagnosis of malrotation and segmental dilatation of the ileum was made using a barium enema and an explolaparotomy 10 days after the first operation. The facts indicate that abnormal findings on a prenatal sonography and esophageal atresia may be associated with many congenital anomalies should be considered.
