Abstract

We present the case of a patient, who was born severely depressed by natural birth, at 35,4 week, weighting 2 620 g. Immediately he was given reanimation, with bag, but when there was not an improvement, we decided the tracheal intubation. We supposed the malformation of the respiratory ways when the intubation was impossible; when we tried to make a tracheotomy, we did not find the trachea, arriving to the diagnosis of tracheal agenesis. In spite of the taken therapeutic measures, the patient died 8 hours after birth. In the pathologic study we stated type II tracheal agenesis, according to Floyd's classification.
