Simultaneous Bochdalek hernia and type C tracheoesophageal fistula.
The occurrence in an infant of coexisting congenital diaphragmatic hernia, proximal esophageal atresia, and distal tracheoesophageal fistula is extremely rare, and the literature contains only anecdotal reports of treatment. Because these infants often have challenging clinical presentations and may deteriorate rapidly, physicians should be aware of manifestations of this combination of conditions and how to manage them.
