Abstract
Tracheoesophageal fistula without atresia (H-type) is a known but unco mmon cause of respiratory distress in the newborn. We present a rare c ase of a high cervical tracheoesophageal fistula unassociated with a l aryngeal cleft or esophageal atresia. The diagnosis, associated anomal ies, and surgical repair of this previously undescribed entity are dis cussed.
