title: [Pseudoatresia of the oesophagus in the newborn infant (author's transl)].
abstract: Pseudoatresia of the oesophagus seems to occur more frequently than assumed from the cases actually diagnosed. With reference to an appropriate case its traumatic origin is discussed and is considered to be closely connected with anatomical facts and special circumstances arising in newborn infants. Clinical symptoms, therapy and prophylaxis are pointed out. Common oesophageal atresia is the most important condition to be ruled out in the differential diagnosis.
