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.

Yenidoğanda zor entübasyonun nadir bir nedeni: Fraser sendromu

Abstract

Fraser sendromu kriptooftalmus, kütanöz sindaktili, laringeal ve ürogenital anomaliler ile karakterize nadir görülen otozomal resesif geçişli bir genetik hastalıktır. Hava yolu açılması sırasında ek hazırlık yapılmasının sağlanması için, laringeal atrezi veya darlığın sendroma eşlik ettiğinin bilinmesi hayat kurtarıcı olabilir. Burada laringeal anomalisi olan, Fraser Sendromu ile uyumlu bulguları saptanan yenidoğan olgusu literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır.

Keywords
