[Tracheal agenesis. A case report].
A case of tracheal agenesis, a rare foregut malformation, is described. This malformation is combined with a tracheo-oesophageal fistula, furthermore with rectal and anal atresia, cardiac malformations, dysplastic kidneys, wedge-shaped vertebrae, and cerebellar hypoplasia. Since a tracheo-oesophageal fistula is a possible component of the VACTERL Association [(V) vertebral defects, (A) anal atresia, (C) cardial malformations, (T) tracheo-(E)-oesophageal fistula, (R) renal or (L) limb malformations], similar cases are reviewed from the literature and their relationship to this association is discussed.
