Esophageal Atresia
Esophageal Atresia is a congenital condition where the esophagus, the tube that connects the throat to the stomach, does not form properly. Instead of being a continuous tube, it ends in a pouch, preventing food and liquids from reaching the stomach. This condition is often diagnosed shortly after birth when a baby has difficulty feeding or experiences choking.
Treatment for Esophageal Atresia typically involves surgery to connect the two ends of the esophagus. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for the baby's health and development. With proper care, most children can lead healthy lives after surgery.
