Abstract


H type tracheoesophageal fistula is a
rare presentation. Three female children
presented at 7-9 months of age with recurrent
respiratory infections, recurrent
bouts of pneumonia and failure to thrive.
Investigation with bronchoscopy identified
saliva in the trachea entering
through the fistula in all the three cases
suggesting H type tracheoesophageal
fistula. For two cases cannulation of the
fistulous tract was done before surgery
.Through right cervical approach H
type tracheo oesophageal fistula was
identified and ligated in all the three
cases
