Classification

Classification of congenital tracheoesophageal fistulas and esophageal atresia

 esophageal atresia with distal TEF (87%)
 isolated esophageal atresia without TEF (8%)
 isolated TEF (4%)
 esophageal atresia with proximal TEF (1%)
 esophageal atresia with proximal and distal TEF (1%)

Associations

Approximately 17-70% of children with TEFs have associated developmental anomalies.
