Abstract.

H-type tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) is a rare type of fistula without oesophageal atresia. The symptoms are usually present at birth, but the diagnosis is often delayed. Traditionally, contrast oesophagography and/or fiberoptic bronchoscopy are used to confirm the diagnosis. We describe the imaging features of a case of H-type TOF seen on three-dimensional computed tomography and virtual bronchoscopy and the usefulness of these techniques in pre-operative evaluation.
