Abstract

—Newborn with hypersalivation and vomiting can be caused by various causes, one of which is esophageal atresia. Esophageal atresia is a rare disease, the most life-threatening congenital malformations in newborns, a congenital gastrointestinal abnormality characterized by loss of esophageal continuity (atresia) with or without tracheo-esophageal fistula. With a thorough history and physical examination, supported by a simple radiological examination, the diagnosis of esophageal atresia can be established. In this case, the 4-day-old baby was referred twice from a mother and child hospital to a fully equipped hospital. Babies experience drooling from birth and vomit immediately after feeding. At referral hospital, an orogastric tube (OGT) is installed to the patient, and it is found that the tip of OGT cannot fit along the predetermined size, and the OGT tip rises again - coiled inside the baby's mouth. From the results of the radiological examination of the babygram, a circular OGT image was obtained in Thoracal IV. The diagnosis of type C esophageal atresia can be established immediately by oesophagography, and patient got esophageal repair and neonatal intensive care with good result. This case report is useful to learn in establishing the diagnosis of esophageal atresia early to get prompt management. Keywords: drooling, hypersalivation, newborn, esophageal atresia
