Abstract
Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome in neonates is a rare, life-threatening condition characterized by upper airway obstruction. Typically diagnosed prenatally through advanced imaging, CHAOS results from anomalies such as laryngeal atresia or web or tracheal stenosis. Neonates with CHAOS face respiratory distress at birth, necessitating prompt intervention. Management often involves ex-utero intrapartum treatment procedure or tracheostomy to establish a secure airway. Timely diagnosis and multidisciplinary collaboration are crucial for optimizing outcomes in affected infants. Despite its rarity, CHAOS demands heightened clinical awareness to ensure swift, tailored interventions and improve the chances of neonatal survival. We report here a case of CHAOS which was not diagnosed on antenatal ultrasonography.
