| Abstract: | H-type tracheo-oesophageal fistula (H-TOF) and congenital oesophageal stenosis (COS) are both rare anomalies. Only six cases of H-TOF in association with COS have been described in the literature. Characteristically, diagnosis is delayed, often well beyond the neonatal period. We report a patient who was accurately diagnosed on day 12 of life, and outline several of the key clinical dilemmas encountered in managing a neonate with this combination of rare congenital anomalies. |
