The combination of duodenal atresia and esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula leads to a closed loop of bowel involving the distal esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Prenatally, this association of anomalies is visualized as a characteristic dilated C‐shaped fluid collection in the fetal abdomen. We report three cases of the association of duodenal and esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula, identified sonographically in the second trimester of pregnancy.
