“…In 1979, Faro et al reported a more detail classification of tracheal agenesis (7 types) based on the literature review [3]. To our best knowledge, 144 cases of tracheal agenesis, including 19 of type I, 87 of type II and 38 of type III, have been reported in the English literature [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. In 1963 Fonkalsrud et al reported a case who survived for 6 weeks after reconstructive surgery including trachealizing the esophagus,dividing the distal esophagus and inserting a gastrostomy tube [12].…”

“…In type III, the trachea is again completely absent as in type II but both the bronchi arise separately from the oesophagus. The relative frequency of these types, which correspond to the increasing severity of the defect, is 13%, 62%, and 25% respectively 1. A tracheo-oesophageal or broncho-oesophageal fistula is almost always there 1…”

“…Thirteen additional cases had been identified from the literature after the numerical analyses had been initiated [Chen and Holinger, 1994;Hiyama et al, 1994;Manschot et al, 1994;Hirahara et al, 1995;HirtArmon et al, 1996;Su and Chen, 1996;CharavelHouzel et al, 1997;Kerschner and Klotch, 1997;Mar and Essex, 1997;Wang et al, 1998]. Ten of these cases were described adequately and had additional anomalies; they were therefore used to test the utility of the classification groupings.…”

Tracheal agenesis revisited: analysis of associated anomalies

1999

We describe five new cases of tracheal agenesis and report on epidemiological and numerical analyses of nearly 100 such cases with multiple congenital anomalies. Malformations seen with tracheal agenesis form patterns which overlap with, but are distinct from, VACTERL association. They have a high frequency of other lower respiratory tract anomalies; e.g., laryngeal atresia and lung lobation defects, and complex heart anomalies, but fewer anal and vertebral malformations. Cluster analysis of the malformations in 86 patients identified four consistent groups. Anomalies in the first group were primarily restricted to the trachea, larynx, and cardiovascular system. In the second group, the patients had more severe cardiac defects, and lung lobation anomalies, while in the third they had a caudal component in addition to thoracic abnormalities, with anal and renal anomalies being common. Each of these groups showed a male excess and may represent increasingly severe perturbations in development fields encompassing the developing respiratory tract. Although the nature of the causative insult is unknown and probably heterogenous, one underlying pathogenetic mechanism may be abnormal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Patients in the fourth group also had multisystem involvement with a high incidence of aberrant vessels, complex cardiac malformations, lung lobation defects, and anomalies of other foregut derivatives. The sex ratio in this group was normal and such cases could represent a disturbance in the primary development field during blastogenesis with secondary vascular disruptions. Complete tracheal agenesis is a lethal anomaly. However, segmental forms may be correctable and, in this group of infants, the nature of associated anomalies may well determine long-term prognosis.
