The 20 Best Esophageal Atresia Coloboma Talipes Doctors Near Me in North Chesterfield, VA

Esophageal atresia coloboma talipes is a birth defect that consists of the following three conditions: Esophageal atresia is a birth defect in which the esophagus (swallowing tube connecting the mouth to the stomach) did not develop properly. Instead of a connected esophagus, in infants with esophageal atresia the esophagus is separated into two sections. Esophageal atresia often occurs with another birth defect, tracheoesophageal fistula, in which a section of the esophagus is connected to the trachea (windpipe). Coloboma is a birth defect in which normal tissue in or around the eye is missing. Coloboma can affect one or both eyes, either similarly of differently, depending on the part of the eye affected, including the eyelid, lens, macula, optic nerve, uvea, or retina. Talipes, also known as clubfoot, is a birth defect in which an infant’s foot is twisted out of shape or position due to the tendons being too short. Talipes can be mild or severe and occur in one or both feet.
