Abstract
Tracheostomy cannula care is of paramount importance in the daily management of tracheotomized patients. While some complications are commonplace, specific events can occur, often according to type of cannula. We herein report the case of a 71-year-old patient; following a lengthy stay in the intensive care unit, she had received a Safe T-Tube cannula designed to provide support in a stenotic trachea. At home, while suctioning her tracheal secretions, she suddenly experienced respiratory distress requiring a rapid intervention. On arrival, no seeable cannula was found, either in the tracheostomy or in the patient's immediate surroundings. Following her transfer to intensive care, a new cannula was inserted into the tracheostomy opening, enabling mechanical ventilation to begin and achieving rapid relief of dyspnea and improvement of the patient's overall condition. Bronchial fibroscopy was then performed, during which the Safe T-Tube cannula was found folded on itself in a supra-carinal intra-tracheal position. It was extracted and replaced by a cannula of the same model, which was sewn to the skin. Although rare and usually limited to flexible cannulas, this complication is potentially fatal. Generally speaking, when cannula obstruction is suspected, bronchial endoscopy in an intensive care setting is a vital necessity. It is not only the cornerstone of the diagnosis, but also of paramount importance in treatment taking into full account the mechanism of obstruction.

Abstract
Pulmonary glial heterotopia is an extremely rare entity whose pathophysiology remains unclear. We report for the first time one case of pulmonary glial heterotopia occured in a one-month baby free from any malformation. She has the particularity of being born from monozygotic monochorionic twin pregnancy where her anencephalic exencephalic sister suffered a medical termination of pregnancy. She presented neonatal respiratory distress, which recurred one month later. Chest X-ray revealed bilateral cystic pulmonary lesions mainly located in the right lung. Given the suspicion of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), she underwent an upper and a lower right lung lobectomy at four months old. The pathological study found a multi-cystic lesion consisted of well-differentiated and poorly cellular glial tissue sometimes lined by bronchic epithelium. There was no pathological evidence for a CCAM. The evolution was favorable after surgery with an infant who was well five months later. This is one of the very few cases where the disease did not lead to rapid death in utero or during the perinatal period. This suggests that effective management by surgery could be a decisive factor in the survival of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome is a rare syndromic form of ichthyosis caused by mutations in FATP4, which plays a central role in the transport and activation of fatty acids in the epidermis and in epidermal barrier function. Despite stereotypical clinical presentation in the neonatal period, the diagnosis is not well known by clinicians. Herein we report two new cases. PATIENTS AND METHODS Case no. 1: a boy born prematurely (33weeks of gestation) to non-consanguineous French parents presented at birth with respiratory distress necessitating admission to intensive care. His skin was covered by a thick caseous vernix, especially on the scalp, eyebrows and 4 limbs. At the age of 4years, the boy's skin appeared normal. Case no. 2: a boy born prematurely to consanguineous Moroccan parents (34weeks of gestation) presented at birth with respiratory distress requiring admission to intensive care. At clinical examination, he had a whitish thick skin giving an impression of vernix caseosa, with involvement of the scalp, forehead, 4 limbs and abdomen. At the age of 2 years, his skin was normal. CONCLUSION The clinical presentation of this syndrome is typical. It is important to make the diagnosis to enable genetic counseling and planning of adequate neonatal care in the event of future pregnancies.

Abstract
Ingestion of a foreign body is usually accidental in children. Respiratory symptoms, often favored by the persistence of the foreign body in the esophagus, can be revealing, but rarely respiratory distress as a method telling. We report a case of unrecognized esophageal foreign body revealed by respiratory distress.

Abstract
Pulmonary surfactant is a unique mixture of lipids and specific proteins that reduces surface tension at the air-liquid interface, preventing collapse of the lung at the end of expiration. Recessive loss-of-function mutations of pulmonary surfactant protein B (SP-B) was initially described in infants who develop respiratory failure at birth. More recently, mutations in other constitutive surfactant proteins like surfactant protein C or implied in its metabolism like ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A, member 3 (ABCA3) or NK2 homeobox (NKX2-1) were identified in newborn with respiratory distress but also in children with diffuse infiltrative pneumonia. Intra-alveolar accumulation of protein related to surfactant dysfunction leads to cough, hypoxemia and radiological abnormalities including ground-glass opacities and lung cysts. The clinical and radiological features associated with these genetic disorders, along with their treatment and outcome, are reviewed.

Abstract
Damage control is defined by the extreme emergency implementation of a first resuscitation and surgical step, during which there is no attempt at repairing lesions but only at restoring adequate physiological function. In recent years, "damage control" has considerably improved the management of polytrauma patients, especially in war surgery. Respiratory distress or hemorrhagic shock requirements are critical maxillofacial emergencies. We present the specificities of "damage control" management for patients with severe maxillofacial trauma. Some clinical and biological criteria have been defined to choose "damage control" strategy, in patients presenting with life-threatening facial hemorrhage after facial trauma. A rapid initial stage restores vital functions. Airways are maintained and secured: oro-tracheal intubation, cricothyroidotomy, surgical tracheotomy. Facial bleeding is controlled with various means: oronasal packing, angiographic embolization, selective ligation then external carotid artery if necessary. The resuscitation step stabilizes the lethal triad: hypothermia, coagulopathy, metabolic acidosis. The second step that comes in later is a surgical repair of facial injuries. "Damage control" can be adequately applied to the management of patients with severe maxillofacial trauma.
