Application value of high-frequency ultrasound combined with ultrasonography in the diagnosis of neonatal esophageal atresia

Conclusion: High frequency ultrasound and super fresh water injection angiography have good application value in the diagnosis of neonatal EA. There is no significant difference between the distance between the distal and proximal blind ends of the esophagus before and during the operation of type III EA and that during the operation of super fresh water injection angiography. However, in consideration of the risk of radiation and poisoning caused by esophagography, it is recommended that high-frequency ultrasound be selected first for diagnosis and if necessary, esophagography be supplemented for joint diagnosis.Keywords: High frequency ultrasound; Ultrasound angiography; Neonatal esophageal atresia; Application value.
