Figure 2 Plain X-rays of the chest and abdomen of two neonates with esophageal atresia.
A: The non-progression of an orogastric catheter in the blind esophageal pouch and the presence of air in the stomach diagnose esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula; B: The radiopaque tube in the blind esophageal pouch and the absence of air in the stomach identify esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula.
