Abstract
Tracheal agenesis is a potentially lethal congenital anomaly first described by Payne in 1900 [1]. It can occur in isolation or in association with tracheoesophageal (TO) or bronchoesophageal (BO) fistula, cardiovascular anomalies, limb deformities, vertebral anomalies and gastrointestinal tract abnormalities [2]. There are 47 reported cases of tracheal agenesis up to 1989; 45 of these were associated with TO fistula [2]. Another 15 cases of tracheal agenesis have been reported since then, and all have been associated with TO fistula. We report only the third case of type 2 tracheal agenesis without TO fistula.
