N2 - Congenital upper airway obstruction presents a life-threatening situation when encountered in the delivery room. We present a case in which in utero diagnosis of this malformation was suspected, but unfortunately the neonate did not survive due to the inability to provide adequate ventilation. The prenatal sonographic features of this rare malformation are outlined, and the literature reviewed.
