Complete Information on Esophageal atresia with Treatment and Prevention

POSTED BY admin on Jun 10, 2008 under Health

Esophageal atresia is a congenital defect, which means it occurs before birth.

Esophageal atresia, also known as tracheoesophageal fistula, is a agitation of digestive system in which the oesophagus is not developed suitably. This condition takes several different forms, often involving one or more fistulas connecting the trachea to the esophagus.  Esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula are commonly found together, but may also occur separately. The presence of tracheoesophageal fistula without esophageal atresia occurs also, but with fewer noticeable symptoms in the infant, making it more difficult to diagnose. It may not be diagnosed until months or even years later when digestive disturbances occur.
