Abstract

A 30-week newborn patient presented with acute respiratory obstruction due to a large pharyngeal teratoma. At laryngoscopy no view of the larynx was obtained, and a tracheal tube was unintentionally passed blindly into the oesophagus. This relieved the obstruction by anterior displacement of the mass.
