Abstract

We present a newborn infant with type II tracheal agenesis. Helical CT was performed and confirmed the diagnosis. Retrospective coronal and sagittal multiplanar reconstructions clearly demonstrated the complex anatomy of the malformation. The absence of a significant portion of healthy trachea did not present any possibility for surgical correction.
