Abstract
Tracheal agenesis is an extremely rare and typically fatal congenital anomaly, with only scattered case reports attesting to of its successful management. This condition usually presents with severe respiratory distress and aphonia after birth. Failed attempts at intubation make neonatal resuscitation difficult.

We report herein a rare case of tracheal agenesis and describe our experience, following its successful treatment through surgical management.
