Three-dimensional CT of congenital esophageal atresia and distal tracheoesophageal fistula in neonates: preliminary results.

OBJECTIVE

Radiography was traditionally used in the preoperative treatment of neonates with tracheoesophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula. The aim of this study was to assess the potential use of three-dimensional CT in the evaluation of this complex congenital malformation.

CONCLUSION

Three-dimensional CT coupled with reformations in the three orthogonal planes may have a complementary diagnostic role in congenital esophageal atresia.
