    Tracheal agenesis is a rare congenital condition causing neonatal respiratory distress. Survival often relies on esophageal ventilation, and this condition frequently co-occurs with heart defects like ventricular septal defect.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Tracheal agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly presenting as severe neonatal respiratory distress.
    • Management often requires temporary esophageal ventilation for survival.
    • Literature review includes 38 previously reported cases and 2 new case reports.

    Observation:

    • Two new cases of tracheal agenesis are presented.
    • The association of tracheal agenesis with other congenital anomalies is reviewed.
    • Ventricular septal defect is the most common co-occurring anomaly.

    Findings:

    • A novel classification system for tracheal agenesis, categorizing it into seven distinct types, is introduced.
    • The study highlights the frequent association with cardiac defects, particularly ventricular septal defects.

  • Esophageal ventilation is a critical temporary measure for affected neonates.

    • Implications:

    • The proposed classification may aid in standardizing diagnosis and understanding the spectrum of tracheal agenesis.
    • Early recognition and management of associated anomalies are crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Further research into the embryological origins and treatment strategies for tracheal agenesis is warranted.
