  • Title: Tracheal cartilaginous sleeve with cricoid cartilage involvement in Pfeiffer syndrome.
    Author: Elloy MD, Cochrane LA, Wyatt M.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2006 Mar; 17(2):272-4. PubMed ID: 16633174.
    Abstract:
    Pfeiffer syndrome is one of a group of craniosynostosis syndromes in which rare tracheal anomalies have been described. This group of patients have a poor prognosis, and mortality can be related to airway complications and respiratory distress. We report a case of type II Pfeiffer syndrome with tracheal cartilaginous sleeve and cricoid cartilage involvement. We discuss our strategy for the management of the airway of this patient.
