Abstract
The combination of duodenal atresia and esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula leads to a closed loop of bowel involving the distal esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Prenatally, this association of anomalies is visualized as a characteristic dilated C-shaped fluid collection in the fetal abdomen. We report three cases of the association of duodenal and esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula, identified sonographically in the second trimester of pregnancy.
