Abstract

A tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is an abnormal connection between the esophagus and the trachea and is a rarely seen pathology. The absence of the fetal stomach or visualization of the fetal stomach smaller than normal by ultrasound in early gestation, and detection of polyhydramnios in third trimester are the most valuable signs in ultrasonographic examination. In addition to this, depending on the type of the anomaly, blind pouch sign of the esophagus can be detected at the mediastinum or in the neck, next to trachea. The rate of diagnosis in the ultrasonographic examination during pregnancy is about %42, and %58 of the patients diagnoses in postpartum period. In this paper we aimed to present a baby diagnosed TEF, as a rare entity.

Özet

Trakeözofageal fistül (TÖF) özofagus ve trakea arasında anormal bir bağlantıdır ve oldukça nadir görülen bir patolojidir. Erken gebelik haftalarında prenatal ultrasonografide fetal midenin gözlenememesi veya normalden küçük gözlenmesi ve ileri gebelik haftalarında polihidramnios varlığı ultrasonografik değerlendirmenin yegâne bulgularıdır. Ek olarak anomalinin tipine göre servikal veya mediastinal bölgede, trakea komşuluğunda özofagus kör ucunun poş belirtisini görmek mümkün olabilir. Gebelik dönemi ultrasonografi takibinde tanı koyma oranı yaklaşık olarak %42’dir, %58 hastanın tanısı postpartum dönemde koyulur. Biz bu makalede nadir görülmesi nedeniyle, TÖF tanısı konulan bebek hastayı sunmayı amaçladık
