    Esophageal Atresia (EA)

    • Most common congenital anomaly of the esophagus
    • Incomplete formation of the esophagus
    • Forms upper and lower pouches with a gap in between
    • Can be present without a fistula (EA)
    • Can be present with a tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF)
    • Incidence: 1 in 2500–3000 live births
    • Associated anomalies: May or may not be present

    Types of EA

    • Type A: Esophageal atresia without fistula (pure esophageal atresia) - 10% of cases
    • Type B: Esophageal atresia with proximal TEF
