Esophageal atresia (EA) is prenatally diagnosed in less than one third of the cases and is usually only suspected. Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with dynamic sequence and biochemistry of the amniotic fluid have been proposed to enhance prenatal diagnosis of EA. We report the case of a triple negative screening (ultrasound, MRI with dynamic sequence and biochemistry of the amniotic fluid) with a postnatal diagnosis of EA type III with a small defect. Even using second line tests, prenatal diagnosis of EA remains a challenge.
