Findings: Figure 1,2(Chest and KUB):
1. Air densities in relative wide superior mediastinum,
   possibly associated with esophageal atresia with distended
   esophageal pouch.
2. Presence of stomach gas in left upper abdomen,
   tracheoesophageal fistula can not be excluded.
Figure 3,4(Chest PA and lateral):
1. S/P nasogastric tube with looped catheter in upper third
   esophagus and much air retention in GI tract, suggesting
   esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula.
Figure 5(Wholr body):
1. No bony deformity in whole body and extremities.
Figure 6,7(Esophageograms):
1. Contrast media stop in upper third esophagus with
   distal obstruction, in favor of esophageal atresia.
Figure 8-10(Operation photograms):
1. End to end anastomosis from right lateral chest wall
   approach.
Figure 11(Post OP esophageogram):
1. Mild stenosis over anastomosis without leakage.
