Esophageal atresia associated with tracheal stenosis and right lung agenesis: report of one case

Acta Paediatr Taiwan. 2002 Nov-Dec;43(6):348-50.

Abstract

Unilateral pulmonary agenesis with esophageal atresia is a rare condition. Patients with this condition almost die of respiratory failure during early infancy. We describe a case of a premature female infant who has tracheal stenosis, right lung agenesis and esophageal atresia at the same time. Because of respiratory failure, this baby passed away at the age of 39 days.
