{Abstract}: We describe, the clinical presentation of a rare case of Tracheal Agenesis in a preterm infant and we highlight magnetic imaging resonance (MRI) and autopsy findings to better characterize this anomaly. A 30-year-old female presented for acute polyhydramnios at 30 weeks gestation of a male foetus. Prenatal MRI was performed and excluded this diagnosis. After delivery, the neonate presented a respiratory distress. The laryngoscopy control of tube position concluded to an esophageal intubation. A second reading of antenatal MRI was made. An autopsy was performed. The internal examination of the organs revealed broncho-oesophageal fistula. The upper airways were obstructed at the larynx. Fetal MRI should be interpreted with caution when Tracheal Agenesis is highly suspected.
