Treacher-Collins Syndrome: A case study

The combination of bilateral choanal atresia and Treacher Collins syndrome is a life-threatening neonatal emergency. We report the case of a female newborn with typical facial dysmorphia and immediate respiratory distress due to airway obstruction. Although urgent surgical correction was performed, the outcome was brain death. This case highlights the serious prognosis of severe neonatal forms and emphasises the critical importance of antenatal diagnosis and multidisciplinary care planned from the delivery room onwards.
