    AbstractA case of a premature infant with tracheal atresia together with an exceptional combination of congenital abnormalities that partially corresponds to the TACRD and VACTERL associations is presented. Tracheal atresia was not detectable in the prenatal ultrasound due to lacking of the typical diaphragmatic and pulmonary findings because of the esophago-tracheal fistula, and therefore the resuscitation team was not prepared for this severe airway complication. After prolonged resuscitation efforts were terminated and the newborn expired after birth. Even without typical warning signs physicians have to be aware of tracheal atresia and airway obstruction if VACTERL or TACRD associations are diagnosed.
