Preterm Newborn with Isolated Congenital Tracheal Stenosis: A Very Rare and Fatal Condition
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Congenital tracheal stenosis is a lethal and very rare congenital malformation with an estimated incidence of two per 100,000 newborns. It leads to functional atresia of the trachea. It usually leads to infant death if there is no accessory connections like tracheo-oesophageal fistula to allow for spontaneous breathing .We report a male infant born at 32 weeks of gestation presented with respiratory distress immediately after delivery due to congenital tracheal stenosis. The infant was discharged successfully and now in regular follow up with adequate post natal growth. Keywords: Preterm infant, Congenital tracheal stenosis.
