Prenatal diagnosis of tracheo-oesophageal fistula/oesophageal atresia: is MRI helpful?
There are several features on imaging that raise the suspicion of TOF/OA. Fetal MRI has some improved diagnostic accuracy compared with antenatal ultrasound alone; however, it is only marginally better. Absence of stomach bubble and presence of oesophageal dilatation combined on fetal MRI are more diagnostic of TOF/OA.
