Esophageal atresia (EA) with distal tracheosophageal fistula (TEF) develops hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) during the late postoperative period with a described prevalence of 1%-10%.The aim of this retrospective study is to show our experience in this association and to report two specific cases. Of 61 patients with EA treated in our institution, 2 developed HPS. Both cases underwent a Ramstedt extramucosal pyloromyotomy. Currently, patients are asymptomatic.Our frequency (3.3%) is similar to other publications, about 1%-10%. It is important to be aware of this association in a patient with a history of EA and recurrent vomiting in the late postoperative period. The etiology of this association should be investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
