Congenital stenosis of airways is a rare and possibly life-threatening congenital defect with difficult treatment and uncertain prognosis. In our report, we describe a rare case of a 1-month-old newborn with concomitant stenosis of trachea and main bronchus and its successful treatment using slide plasty.
