Tracheal defects can lead to difficulties in airway management in newborns. Tracheal atresia is a very rare entity with high mortality that presents a challenge to the anesthesiologist. We report a case of a newborn with tracheal atresia, esophageal atresia and double tracheoesophageal fistula, which ventilation, until the 6th day of life, was assured through an esophageal intubation.
