“…When esophageal atresia is present, the signs of duodenal atresia may become less clear, for the classic 'double bubble' may not be seen because the inability to visualize the stomach. In previous studies, distension of the stomach and duodenum was much greater than usually expected with duodenal atresia alone [9,10].…”

Characteristic Findings for Diagnosis of Baby Complicated with both the VACTERL Association and Duodenal Atresia

The VACTERL [vertebral defects (V), anal atresia (A), cardiac anomaly (C), tracheal-esophageal fistula with esophageal atresia (TE), renal defects (R), and radial limb dysplasia (L)] association can sometimes be diagnosed by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although the preaxial limb anomalies on ultrasonography were strongly associated with VACTERL association, the rate of limb anomalies is low. On ultrasonography, useful findings for prenatal diagnosis are a combination of esophageal atresia with hydramnion and renal anomalies. If esophageal atresia cannot be detected due to masking, diagnosis may be very difficult. In this case report, we reported the VACTERL association along with duodenal atresia. The detection of characteristic findings (enlarged stomach and duodenum, possibly change in gallbladder) by use of ultrasonography and MRI might be useful for the prenatal diagnosis of such cases.

“…In the presence of duodenal atresia associated with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula, ligation of the distal tracheoesophageal fistula takes precedence and in favorable circumstances may be combined with primary esophageal anastomosis followed by duodenoenterostomy [26].…”

“…With a median follow-up of 9 years, 71% of patients diagnosed with GERD required anti-reflux operations with a failure rate of 80%. Fundoplication was necessary in 40% of patients with EA and DA reported by Spitz et al [5] and anastomotic strictures were observed in 55% of patients reported by Dave et al in which anti-reflux surgery was necessary in 33% [2].…”

“…A review of the literature over the last three decades found only three series of patients with combined EA and DA [1,2,5], and some scattered case reports. To our knowledge, this is the first study aimed at examining the long-term functional status of the upper gastrointestinal tract in a cohort of patients with EA associated with DA.…”
