A neonate with severe neonatal asphyxia was treated with therapeutic hypothermia. He developed hypothermia‐induced respiratory deterioration, after which congenital tracheal stenosis and pulmonary artery sling were diagnosed. Even low‐grade hypothermia is likely to induce bronchial narrowing in neonates, especially in neonates with congenital respiratory tract anomalies. Congenital tracheal stenosis represents a potential pitfall in differential diagnosis and should be carefully ruled out in cases of bronchial narrowing episode induced by therapeutic hypothermia.
