| Title | H-type tracheoesophageal fistula masquerading as achalasia cardia in a 13-year-old child. | | Author(s) | Ng J, Bartram J, Antao B, Everard M, Shawis R | | Institution | Department of Paediatrics, Sheffield Children's Hospital, Western Bank, Sheffield, United Kingdom. | | Source | J Paediatr Child Health 2006 Apr; 42(4):215-6. | | Abstract | H-type tracheoesophageal fistula is rare. Although symptoms are present from birth, its rarity and overlap of symptoms with other respiratory conditions makes diagnosis difficult and delayed. We report a case of H-type fistula in a 13-year-old girl that was detected incidentally during investigations for achalasia cardia. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
