A Case of Congenital High Airway Obstruction Syndrome Caused by Complete Tracheal Obstruction with Associated Anomalies
نویسندگان
چکیده
An obstruction of the fetal upper airway in utero due to various reasons may cause a fatal condition congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS). The prenatal ultrasound fi ndings of CHAOS include large echogenic lungs, fl attened or inverted diaphragms, dilated airways distal to the obstruction, and fetal ascites and/or hydrops [1]. If it is associated with severe hydrops and/ or associated anomalies, its prognosis is fatal. Here we present a case of antenatally diagnosed CHAOS with associated anomalies and a literature review.

متن کاملPrenatal Diagnosis of Congenital High Airway Obstruction Syndrome: Report of Two Cases and Brief Review of the Literature
Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) is the obstruction of the fetal upper airways, which may be partial or complete. It is usually incompatible with life. Prenatal recognition of the disease is quite important due to the recently described management options. We report here two cases of CHAOS due to tracheal atresia diagnosed by antenatal ultrasonography and fetal MRI. We also b...
متن کاملSevere airway obstruction in an infant with congenital tracheal stenosis and congenital heart disease -A case report-
Congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS), though rare, is important because the mortality and morbidity rates are high in infants. Especially, associated congenital heart disease (CHD) in these infants may compound the effects of airway pathology. A 3-week-old patient with long-segmental tracheal stenosis below an anomalous right-upper lobe (RUL) bronchus had undergone a total correction of double ou...

Tracheal agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly. The prevalence is less than 1 : 50 000 with a male to female ratio of 2 : 1. This anomaly may be isolated but, in 93% of cases, it is part of polymalformative syndrome. The most evocative diagnosis situation is the ultrasonographic congenital high airway obstruction syndrome. Dilated airways, enlarged lungs with flattened diaphragm, fetal ascites ...
