Abstract
Gross E–type congenital esophageal atresia associated with congenital esophageal stenosis
is extremely rare. In a male infant born at 36 weeks of gestation, bubbly vomiting
was noted after birth. X-ray films of the chest and abdomen showed coil-up sign of
the nasogastric tube and gas in the stomach and small intestines were recognized,
so gross C–type esophageal atresia was suspected and surgery was performed on the
first day of life. Surgery revealed the presence of a tracheoesophageal fistula in
the upper esophagus and membranous stenosis on the distal side.
