title: Communicating esophageal tubular duplication in a newborn infant.
abstract: We describe a communicating esophageal duplication in a newborn infant, without any other associated congenital anomalies. The diagnosis of esophageal duplication was achieved by a contrast study of the esophagus with diatrizoate and computed tomographic scan. Surgical excision of the esophageal duplication was carried out. At the 1-year follow-up examination, the patient was doing well.
