[Tracheal atresia. A case report].
The tracheal agenesis is a rare malformation of the respiratory tract. It must be suspected in any new born with respiratory distress, absence of crying, and difficulty or impossibility of intubation. Since the initial case report by Payne in 1900, 87 cases have been reported in the literature. The authors report one case of tracheal agenesis out of 2500 autopsy realised in the laboratory.
