[Esophageal atresia associated with a subglottal stenosis. Apropos of a case]

Abstract

The authors report a case of a 3 kg newborn with oesophageal atresia and congenital subglottic stenosis. The literature is reviewed and the management of our case reported. As in many cases the subglottic stenosis outgrows within a year of age, though tracheostomy is not justified even if general anesthesia is needed in case of major surgery.
