Case report: Antenatal diagnosis of congenital high airway obstruction syndrome - laryngeal atresia
Financial support and sponsorship Nil.Abstract
Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) is a near fatal condition of multifactorial inheritence, in which the fetus has a dilated trachea, enlarged echogenic lungs, an inverted or flattened diaphagram, and ascites. A case of CHAOS, diagnosed antenatally on USG at 28 weeks of gestation, is being reported here.
