Abstract

Coexisting left diaphragmatic hernia (DH) and esophageal atresia, a rare phenomenon, is described in two newborns, one with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) and the other without. The coexistence of DH and TEF in the one resulted in uncontrolled gastrointestinal distention with severe respiratory distress. Transabdominal division of the TEF was feasible and was performed concurrently with the diaphragmatic repair. Severe hypoplastic lungs and persistent pulmonary hypertension resulted in early postoperative death in both cases.
