Exomphalos major, oesophageal atresia and tracheooesophageal fistula--a rare combination of major malformations.
Exomphalos major, oesophageal atresia and tracheooesophageal fistula are rare but well described birth defects. Both may be associated with other anomalies but rarely have been described as occurring together. We present a neonate born both premature and with these anomalies who presented major management difficulties.
