Abstract
Treacher Collins syndrome presents with cranio-facial deformities of variab le expressions and severity, but rarely is it associated with acute airway obstruction of such severity that it necessitates surgical intervention. Th e authors describe their experience with such a neonate, who presented with acute airway obstruction successfully managed with a tracheostomy. The rel evant English literature is reviewed.
