presence of polyhydramnios and an absent stomach bubble is well documented. A significant number of esophageal atresias are associated with a tracheoesophageal fistula. In these cases, the diagnosis of esophageal atresia can be missed on a prenatal ultrasonogram since the fluidfilled stomach is seen. We present a case of esophageal atresia with a fistula diagnosed prenatally.
