Oesophageal atresia (OA) encompasses a group of congenital anomalies comprising of an interruption of the continuity of the oesophagus with or without a persistent communication with the trachea. OA occurs in 1 in 2500 live births. We report the case of a 33 year old patient referred to our unit for severe Polyhydramnios at 24 week of amenorrhea. Ultrasound examination revealed the absence of stomach bubble. During fetal swallowing we observed a pouch at the upper level of the neck not vascularized at doppler. There was no other associated fetal abnormality and no chromosomal abnormality. We discussed the preened post-natal diagnosis of esophageal atresia, associated malformations should be seeded and management of esophageal atresia.
