Did/Does your child suffer from an "oesophagial atresia"?
Our child still is handicapped from the consequences of this disorder.
We would like to have contacts with parents facing similar problems.
Please reply to this note, or direct your e-mail to me.

Wolfgang:
Although I cannot offer any "experience" in this area, I was wondering
if you could explain to me just what "oesophagia atresia" is.
Thanks!

| 76.2 | Translation of "Oesophagial Atresia" | VNABRW::SCHWABL_W | Mon Jul 02 1990 04:36 | 15 | |
Here follows a translation of this medical term:
LATIN ENGLISH
oesophagus gullet
atresia without opening
"Oesophagial atresia" means that the gullet is blocked.
The gullet cannot perform its natural task of piping the food to the stomach.
This can be partially repaired with surgery, but feeding remains
still a problem due to "food jam" within the gullet.
The particular risk of "food jam" is the pressure to the air-tube
such that breathing becomes impossible.
This means that a sweetie could be deadly!
Any experience would be appreciated.
