Abstract

Foregut duplication cysts can occur anywhere along the foregut-derived structures. Its association with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is exceptionally rare, the majority of cases being diagnosed at an older age due to symptoms or complications. We present the third reported case in the literature, when diagnosis and treatment were done at the time of repair for EA-TEF.
