Abstract
A 4-month-old-infant was presented with a presumptive diagnosis of a recurrent tracheo-oesophageal fistula. Preoperative bronchoscopy failed to reveal any defects on the tracheal lumen; however, combined oesophagoscopy and bronchoscopy successfully identified the tracheal orifice of the fistula, which facilitated surgical identification of the recurrent fistula and proper placement of the tracheal tube.Entities:
