Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) is a rare life-threatening fetal condition resulting from obstruction of the upper fetal airway which may be partial or complete. Prenatal diagnosis is crucial as it usually results in stillbirth or death after delivery if unrecognized. We report a case of CHAOS that was diagnosed prenatally due to characteristic ultrasound features. We also briefly review literature in light of current management options.
先天性高位气道梗阻综合征（CHAOS）是一种罕见的危及胎儿生命的疾病，由胎儿上呼吸道梗阻引起，梗阻可能是部分性或完全性的。产前诊断至关重要，因为如果未被识别，通常会导致死产或出生后死亡。我们报告一例因特征性超声表现而在产前被诊断出的CHAOS病例。我们还根据当前的治疗选择简要回顾了相关文献。
