Objective Esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) occurs in 1: 3,500 live births. Prenatal suspicion of EA/TEF arises in fetuses that presented with polyhydramnios, small/absent stomach bubble or esophageal pouch. Previous studies have shown the prenatal detection rate of this anomaly to be between 9.2%57% depending on operator expertise and index of suspicion. The presentation and detection rate of EA/TEF in twin versus singleton pregnancies has never been previously studied. Our aim was to compare the characteristics, detection rate and prevalence of sonographic cues of EA/TEF in multiple vs. singleton pregnancies at a tertiary center.
