    Author: Pratap A, Saha GS, Bhattarai BK, Yadav RP, Nepal A, Bajracharya A, Kumar A, Adhikary S.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2007 Jul; 42(7):1284-7. PubMed ID: 17618898.
    Abstract:
    Tracheal agenesis is an extremely rare, typically fatal congenital tracheal malformation. Lack of prenatal symptoms and emergent presentation usually lead to a failure to arrive at the correct diagnosis and manage the airway properly before the onset of irreversible cerebral anoxia. We report the case history of an infant born with immediate respiratory failure who was diagnosed with tracheal agenesis. The clinical presentation, embryology, classification, and surgical management are discussed.
