“…Both stenotic segments contained cartilage as well as abundant tracheobronchial seromucous glands [2,6]. In the fourth patient the excised distal stenotic segment of the esophagus showed no histologic abnormalities [5]. In the fifth patient autopsy at 5 days of age revealed an annular stricture 2 cm in length distal to a patent esophageal anastomosis [8].…”

“…Detailed radiologic information was reported in 16 patients [2-7, 10, 11], clinical information in 13 [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], and the type of esophageal atresia in 21 [2-t2]. Pathological findings were available in only 5 patients [2,5,6,8].…”

Esophageal atresia with tracheosophageal fistula may be associated rarely with distal esophageal stenosis. Three patients are reported with this combination of esophageal anomalies. In addition the clinical and radiologic features of 24 patients previously reported in the literature are reviewed. Careful evaluation of the distal esophagus during postoperative contrast studies in patients with esophageal atresia should be obtained to exclude distal stenosis. The presence of unrecognized distal esophageal stenosis may lead to complications of postoperative anastomotic leaks, poor healing of the anastomosis, aspiration, and impaction of a solid food bolus proximal to the stenosis.
