ABSTRACT
Recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula is a rare complication of esophageal atresia surgery with an incidence of 3-15%. The presentation is subtle and is often missed, presenting as choking episodes during feed and recurrent chest infections. It is both a diagnostic and management challenge and requires a dedicated multidisciplinary pediatric surgical setup with adequate infrastructure for optimal management. We present a case of recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula which was diagnosed at our center. The patient underwent successful surgical management and is thriving well at six months follow-up period.
