Fístula traqueoesofágica congénita en un varón de 15 años

Three girls, 5-, 9-, and 15-year-old, were evaluated for recurrent airway infections and pneumonia. Chest X-rays, which included the upper portion of the abdomen, showed marked gaseous bowels distention, while computed tomography scans of the chest demonstrated the presence of tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), confirmed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Abdominal gaseous distension, a known possible clinical manifestation of TEF in the neonatal period generated by airflow through the fistula into the oesophagus, has not been reported as a clue to the diagnosis in older children. When detected in patients with recurrent respiratory infection, should raise the suspicion of unrecognized TEF.
