Esophageal Atresia X-ray:
Esophageal atresia is a congenital condition that can be identified through radiographic findings. Key indicators include:
- Dilated Pharyngeal Pouch: The X-ray may reveal a distended pharyngeal pouch.
- Distal Fistula Indication: The presence of air in the stomach and bowel alongside esophageal atresia suggests a distal fistula.
- Feeding Tube Placement: If a feeding tube has been attempted, the X-ray might show the tube looping back in the upper thorax or entering the trachea/bronchial tree.
