    Abstract:
    Tracheooesophageal fistulae (TEF) without atresia of the oesophagus cause in children relapsing respiratory diseases. The authors present diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in seven children. The symptoms of aspiration with attacks of non-productive cough and suffocation when fed were recorded in all children since birth. In five the diagnosis was made late. In four children the diagnosis was established by oesophagoscopy, in two by cinematooesophageography and in one by Fabian's test (Koop's test). All seven children were operated by a transcervical approach. After surgery all children are in a good condition and have no respiratory complaints.
