Abstract

Pure esophageal atresia (PEA) is characterized by a long gap in between the two pouches. Primary anastomosis is usually not feasible and various techniques have been described in the literature to bridge this gap. We describe a case of PEA where there was no gap externally in between the two pouches and associated intra-abdominal calcification.
