Abstract

A ten-year-old boy was referred to the Clinic for further treatment after frequent bronchopneumonia in the last 4 years. Each time on the X-ray, basal right, the shadow on the lungs was verified. After antibiotic therapy, the control X-ray always showed incomplete regression of the shadow. The boy was born with esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula and was successfully operated on the eighth day of life.
