Abstract:
Treacher Collins syndrome presents with cranio-facial deformities of variable expressions and severity, but rarely is it associated with acute airway obstruction of such severity that it necessitates surgical intervention. The authors describe their experience with such a neonate, who presented with acute airway obstruction successfully managed with a tracheostomy. The relevant English literature is reviewed.
