Abstract

We describe the clinical presentation and pathological features of an unusual case of tracheal agenesis. The axial derivatives of the primitive foregut between the larynx and stomach were represented by a single structure featuring sequential segmentation into regions showing exclusively tracheal or esophageal differentiation in a pattern that is not easily classified by existing nosologic systems nor explained by the conventional hypothesis of dysontogenesis.
