Abstract:
Combined esophageal and duodenal atresia is a rare congenital malformation; its incidence is not well defined in the literature. Other associated malformations may include vertebral, anal, cardiac, renal and limb anomalies as part of a VACTREL syndrome.
We report an atypical case of association of esophageal and duodenal atresia in a newborn whose diagnosis of duodenal stenosis was made antenatally at ultrasound. and the diagnosis of esophageal atresia was made at birth in the delivery room.
The treatment of this malformation consists of an early surgical intervention to establish the digestive continuity. It requires ongoing multidisciplinary management to ensure proper growth and development of the newborn.
