● Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is an abnormal
connection between the trachea and esophagus.

3. Definition
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a hole or abnormal connection between the food pipe (esophagus)
and the windpipe (trachea), which allows food or liquids to enter the lungs and air to pass into the
stomach.

4. Types
1. Type A: Esophageal atresia without fistula.
2. Type B: Fistula between upper esophagus and trachea.
3. Type C: Fistula between lower esophagus and trachea (most common).
4. Type D: Fistula between both upper and lower esophagus with trachea.
5. Type E (H-type): Fistula without esophageal atresia — shaped like the
letter “H”.
