Zusammenfassung:An unusual association of esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) with left amastia and multiple congenital anomalies is presented because of its rarity and successful management. The other associated congenital anomalies included a high variety of anorectal malformation (high-ARM), hypospadias and absent left pectoral muscles with weak shoulder girdle. This case was successfully managed by multi-staged operations to tackle the various associated congenital anomalies. Such a rare association has not been reported previously in the literature.
