1.Since the outstanding contribution by Cameron Haight in 1941 in the surgical management of tracheoesophageal fistula and esophageal atresia, the picture has changed from one of almost invariably fatal outcome, to that of a high survival rate in the surgically corrected infants. Prematurity and associated anomalies are uncontrollable factors in this condition, but do not necessarily, in themselves, preclude a successful outcome. It is the awareness of the condition by doctors and the nursing profession, and the establishment of an early diagnosis that is stressed. If, following early diagnosis, proper pre- and post-operative care (including late post-operative supervision) is maintained, a recovery rate in the neighborhood of 70-80 per cent can be expected, where prematurity and concomitant anomalies are not a factor. 2.Reported here are two rare types of this anomaly, from our series of ten cases in 1956, with a 60 per cent survival rate.
