    Uploaded by

    Enrique Babierra
    The document discusses various causes of tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) in newborns, including failure of embryonic development, the specific condition tracheoesophageal fistula, and external factors like maternal smoking, alcohol consumption, and exposure to certain drugs during pregnancy. TEF is a birth defect where the esophagus fails to properly separate from the trachea, resulting in an abnormal connection between the two organs.
