Radiograph with oral contrast showing h-type tracheoesophageal fistula in a newborn. Tracheoesophageal fistula is suggested in a newborn by copious salivation associated with choking, coughing, vomiting, and cyanosis coincident with the onset of feeding. Esophageal atresia and the subsequent inability to swallow typically cause polyhydramnios in
Esophageal Atresia with both proximal and distal TEFs (two tracheoesophageal fistulas) Both the upper and lower esophageal pouch make an abnormal connection with the trachea in two separate, isolated places. <1% Type E Type 4 - TEF (tracheoesophageal fistula) ONLY with no Esophageal Atresia, H-Type Esophagus fully intact and capable of its ...
Type I is described as tracheal atresia, rather than tracheal agenesis. The trachea is absent proximally but there remains a short normal segment of the distal trachea. A tracheoesophageal fistula links the distal segment of the proto trachea to the oesophagus. It is estimated that 13% of cases of the disease are of type I. [2]
Esophageal atresia (EA) is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a lack of continuity between the lower and upper esophageal pouches, often associated with tracheoesophageal fistula. [7] Esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is the most common birth defect of the esophagus .
A tracheo-esophageal puncture (or tracheoesophageal puncture) is a surgically created hole between the trachea (windpipe) and the esophagus (food pipe) in a person who has had a total laryngectomy, a surgery where the larynx (voice box) is removed.

T - Tracheoesophageal fistula; E - Esophageal atresia; R - Renal (Kidney) and/or radial anomalies; L - Limb defects; Although it was not conclusive whether VACTERL should be defined by at least two or three component defects, [4] it is typically defined by the presence of at least three of the above congenital malformations.
