A Prenatal radiographs do not provide a definitive diagnosis.
B The defect is not externally visible. Bronchoscopy and endoscopy can be used to
identify this defect.
C Atresia is suspected when a nasogastric tube fails to pass 10 to 11 cm beyond the
gum line. Abdominal radiographs will confirm the diagnosis.
D Infants with esophageal atresia may have been born prematurely and with a low
birth weight, but neither is suggestive of the presence of an esophageal atresia.
