title: A new variant of esophageal atresia with distal tracheo-antral fistula associated with congenital intrathoracic stomach and situs inversus.
abstract: Esophageal atresia (EA) with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is the most common anatomic pattern within congenital anomalies of the esophagus. Also, more than 50% of the infants with esophageal atresia have other congenital malformations. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of EA with distal tracheo-antral fistula associated with congenital intrathoracic stomach and situs inversus (SI).
