Highlights
Laryngeal malformations in the Richieri Costa and Pereira syndrome with airway obstruction
The Richieri-Costa-Pereira syndrome was first described in 1992 in Brazil; it consists of a form of acrofacial dysostosis
Mandible distraction surgery followed by cranial bone grafting to anteriorize the mandible and unobstruct the airways for removal of the tracheostomy tube was done. These procedures proved insufficient to maintain the airways pervious, and the patient remained with the tracheostomy tube
