Tracheal agenesis is a rare cause of respiratory distress in the neonatal
period. Temporary survival depends on ventilation through the esophagus.
Thirty-eight case reports of tracheal agenesis (including one from this
institution) have appeared in the literature. In this paper, we present the
case reports of our 2 patients and review the literature. Tracheal agenesis
is associated with a wide variety of congenital anomalies, the most
frequent being ventricular septal defect. A new classification encompassing
seven types of tracheal agenesis is described.
