Agenesis of trachea – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/566688418

Tracheal agenesis is a rare congenital malformation in which the trachea may be completely absent (agenesis), or partially in place but underdeveloped (atresia). In both cases, proximal-distal communication between the larynx and the alveoli of the lungs is lacking.
