Esophageal Atresia
Esophageal atresia is a malformation present from birth in which the esophagus does not form continuously, so it does not connect correctly with the stomach. It is detected in the first moments of the baby's life.
Common signs: Difficulty feeding, excessive salivation, coughing or choking when trying to feed the baby, and respiratory problems shortly after birth.
When to seek care?: It is usually identified very early, in the hospital setting; in the face of these signs in a newborn, evaluation is immediate.
Which specialist treats it?: The pediatric surgeon is the central professional in its management, with the support of the neonatologist, the pediatrician, and the anesthesiologist within a team. When this condition occurs, having the guidance of a specialized team is essential to support the baby and the family.
