The oro-gastric tube tip is consistent with a location in the RLL bronchus. There is
consolidation of the right lung. There is gas in the intestinal tract. The findings are
consistent with a double tracheo-esophageal fistula or an H-type fistula. Exploration
and surgical correction demonstrated a double tracheo-esophageal fistula.

that:
– Only 7/22 infants born with TEF had both polyhydramnios
and no visible stomach.
– In a further 7 pregnancies, polyhydramnios and a fetal
stomach were both detected sonographically.
– None of these women developed polyhydramnios prior to
24 weeks.
– 12/22 infants had other anomalies.
