- Abstract
The article presents a medical case of a boy born with oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula. Surgical correction was performed on the first day of life. The boy also had bilateral cleft lip and palate, surgically closed at the age of 11 weeks. Because of swallowing difficulties with recurrent aspiration complicated by pneumonia, temporary feeding via a jejunostomy tube became necessary. Multiple radiographs of the chest and abdomen showed a huge air-filled lesion in the right upper and mid abdomen. At surgery at the age of 15 weeks a giant Meckel's diverticulum was found and resected.
