Abstract

Tracheal Agenesis (TA) presents with respiratory distress at birth. Diagnosis requires recognition of clinical signs in newborns like failure of endotracheal intubation, respiratory distress with absent air entry over both side of chest and inaudible cry. We describe a TA Floyd Type I with a Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF) without other congenital malformations.
