Congenital malformations of oesophagus - what does this mean

Congenital malformations of the oesophagus occur when the oesophagus does not develop properly during pregnancy, resulting in structural deformities such as narrowing or abnormal connections between the oesophagus and trachea. these malformations can lead to difficulty swallowing, pain, and even life-threatening complications.

What happens during the disease - congenital malformations of oesophagus

Congenital malformations of the oesophagus are caused by abnormal development of the oesophagus during embryogenesis. these abnormalities can be the result of genetic mutations, environmental factors or a combination of both. the most common malformation is a narrowing or stricture of the oesophagus, which can cause difficulty swallowing and other problems. other malformations include a tracheo-oesophageal fistula, which is an abnormal connection between the oesophagus and the trachea, and oesophageal atresia, which is a blockage of the oesophagus.
