Abstract
Tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) in association with subglottic laryngeal web is a rare entity. Often the diagnosis of laryngeal web in the presence of TEF is missed and it is identified during intubation attempts. The triad of neonatal age, TEF and laryngeal web can even cause the most experienced anaesthetists concern about the mortality and morbidity that may develop due to the inability to secure the airway. In this case report, we aimed to share our ex-perience on the airway management of a newborn with laryngeal web.
