摘要：

Diagnosis of esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) can be easily done in newborns with symptoms of excessive salivation and failure to pass infant-feeding tube (IFT) into the stomach. There are many reports in the literature which describe the diagnostic pitfall of this IFT test. We describe a case of a neonate with EA with TEF in which the upper atretic esophageal pouch had grown long enough to reach up to the level of diaphragm, thus allowing the IFT to go up to significant distance from the alveolus giving the radiograph as if the tube is in the upper part of stomach, thus creating a diagnostic dilemma.
