A Case Series On Tracheal Atresia
Background: Agenesis, aplasia or atresia of the trachea is a rare congenital anomaly that to date seems to be incompatible with life. Tracheal atresia is a congenital absence of a normal passage that does not imply a particular length of involvement. Tracheal atresia encompasses cases of agenesis (total absence of trachea) as well as varying lengths of tracheal mal-development1 . We describe here 3 cases of tracheal agenesis. Materials and Methods: It is a descriptive case series done with three neonates in tertiary care teaching hospital in Department of Paediatrics. Conclusion: tracheal atresia is a rare anomaly and clinicians need to be aware of this condition to provide adequate supportive management at the time of delivery and subsequently
