  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Congenital Malformations

Background:

  • Tracheal agenesis is a rare and often fatal congenital airway malformation.
  • Early diagnosis is critical for managing affected newborns.

Observation:

  • A newborn infant presented with severe respiratory distress.
  • Clinical examination and imaging were performed.

Findings:

  • Laryngoscopy and helical CT confirmed tracheal agenesis.
  • The diagnosis included a co-existing tracheo-esophageal fistula and laryngeal agenesis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of tracheal agenesis.
  • Understanding associated anomalies is crucial for prognosis and management.
