| Sumario: | Esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) and annular pancreas are both rare congenital anomalies, with very few reports of neonates presenting with both. More specifically, there are no reported cases of neonates with both annular pancreas and the rarest form of TEF, the H-type fistula.Here, we present the case of a neonate with annular pancreas diagnosed at birth requiring duodenoduodenostomy with delayed diagnosis of concomitant H-type TEF requiring subsequent fistula ligation with favorable outcomes.When patients with known congenital anomalies have persistent symptoms of unidentified etiology, heightened suspicion for other concomitant congenital anomalies can lead to prompt diagnosis, timely surgical management and good outcomes. |
