Laryngeal atresia is a rare congenital condition that presents with hypoxia and failed intubation attempts at birth. When diagnosed prenatally, options exist to obtain airway access during delivery. However, postnatal diagnosis requires a high degree of clinical suspicion and the prompt initiation of surgical airway management in order to avoid morbidity and mortality.
Keywords: congenital anomalies; congenital high airway obstruction syndrome; difficult intubation; laryngeal atresia; tracheoesophageal fistula.
