Abstract

Congenital esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula which called isolated esophageal atresia is a very rare entity and the neonate classified as category C by Waterston`s classification has high mortality rate. We experienced a case of isolated esophageal atresia. This patient was a male with 1,750gm in body weight and had been suffered from bilateral pneumonia. The patient was managed with staged operation. Feeding gastrostomy was made as the first intervention and delayed primary anastomosis was performed 3 months later. The postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged on the 22nd postoperative day.
