Core Tip	Esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula is congenital anomaly which presents as excessive froathing from mouth and respiratory distress. It can be suspected when a nasogastric tube difficult to insert into stomach or radiographically presence coiled nasogastric tube in pharynx. We had an uncommon situation where a nasogastric tube reached the stomach through the trachea and tracheo-esophageal fistula, leading to misdiagnosis in a case of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula. Similar clinical situations can be avoided by using a stiff rubber catheter instead of a soft feeding tube for the diagnosis of esophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula.
