A 40-year-old man, referred for treatment of syncope due to cough, was found to have generalized tracheobronchomalacia. The diagnosis was based on an abnormal collapsibility of the trachea and bronchi on bronchoscopic examination. The detailed investigations confirmed the diagnosis of cough-syncope
Tracheobronchomalacia is a central airway disease characterised by weakness of the wall and dynamic decrease in the tracheal lumen and the large bronchi, particularly while exhaling. It is more common in middle age and the elderly with previous exposure to cigarettes. It causes chronic symptoms such
Severe, diffuse tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is an underrecognized cause of dyspnea, recurrent respiratory infections, cough, secretion retention, and even respiratory insufficiency. Patients often have comorbidities, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and inappropriate
Cough may be the first overt sign of disease of the airways or lungs when it represents more than a defense mechanism, and may by its persistence become a helpful pointer of potential disease for both patient and physician. On the other hand, impairment or absence of the coughing mechanism can be
It is presumed that tracheobronchomalacia in adults is caused by airway pressure-induced injury due to chronic cough related to pulmonary emphysema or chronic bronchitis. Commonly, a posterolateral approach using stabilizing materials is the surgical technique of choice for treating The management of tracheobronchomalacia is a very challenging problem with few treatment options. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of a novel surgical treatment for membranous tracheobronchomalacia. A consecutive series of patients with tracheobronchomalacia were treated with two to three
Mounier-Kuhn syndrome is a rare condition that combines tracheobronchomegaly (TBM) and severe tracheobronchomalacia. Symptoms can be severe with recurrent bronchopulmonary infections and cough-induced syncope. Therapeutic management is non-specific and limited to chest physiotherapy and antibiotics
We report here a very rare case of pneumomediastinum due to spontaneous tracheal rupture with tracheobronchomalacia. The patient was a 74-year-old woman who had suffered nocturnal dyspnea due to productive cough for five days prior to admission and had been treated with corticosteroids for five
Acquired tracheobronchomalacia is seen in middle-aged and elderly people. Weakness of the tracheal and bronchial walls allows the posterior and anterior walls to draw nearer together during expiration and coughing, producing a varying obstruction. The main symptoms are dyspnoea, cough, phlegm and
The term tracheobronchomalacia refers to excessively compliant and collapsible central airways leading to symptoms. Although seen as a coexisting condition with various other pulmonary condition, it may cause symptoms by itself. The condition is often misdiagnosed as asthma, bronchitis or just
We have developed a new surgical method for repairing tracheobronchomalacia. In experiments on dogs we tried external fixation of Marlex mesh (Bard Cardiosurgery Division, Bellerica, Mass.) on the trachea. We first made models of tracheomalacia by making fractures or resections in intrathoracic
Prior studies assessing the diagnostic utility of bronchoscopy for chronic unexplained cough have focused primarily on identifying endobronchial anomalies to determine chronic cough etiology. On the basis of our institutional experience, expanding bronchoscopy to include cultures and BACKGROUND
Controlled studies investigating risk factors for the common presenting problem of chronic cough in dogs are lacking.
OBJECTIVE
To identify demographic and historical factors associated with chronic cough in dogs, and associations between the characteristics of cough and
Introduction: Children with tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) experience excessive dynamic collapse of the central airway(s) (1). TBM remains an under-diagnosed condition (2), and there is on ongoing need to raise awareness amongst paediatricians.Areas covered: The literature from PubMed,
BACKGROUND
Longitudinal follow-up of children with tracheobronchomalacia is essential to improving our understanding of these disorders, yet currently, there is no such data.
OBJECTIVE
To longitudinally define malacia sites and quantify the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the lumen using a
