A rare reason for difficult intubation on neonates: Fraser syndrome

Abstract

Fraser Syndrome is a rare genetic disease with autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized with cryptophtalmos, cutaneous syndactyly, laryngeal and genital anomalies. To provide for additional preparation during the opening of the airway, knowing that there is also a condition of laryngeal atresia or stenosis accompanied to syndrome can be life-saving. In this article a neonate case with laryngeal anomalies whose findings were consistent with the Fraser Syndrome was discussed with the literature. [Cukurova Med J 2016; 41(3.000): 600-603]
