Abstract
- Congenital tracheomalacia associated esophageal atresia is a rare foregut anomaly. We report a case of 40-day old male infant with tracheomalacia who has undergone repair of esophageal atresia at his age of 1 day. The patient had progressive dyspnea and stridor after repair of esophageal atresia. His 3-dimensional chest computed tomography showed severe stenosis at the middle of trachea. We underwent resection and end-to-end anastomosis under cardiopulmonary bypass. Histologic examination revealed esophageal tissues indicating congenital origin as well as no cartilage.
