Tracheomalacia describes a generalized or localized weakness of the trachea that results in excessive narrowing of the tracheal lumen during expiration or whenever intrathoracic pressure increases. Severe forms of tracheomalacia are characterized by life-threatening apneic spells, inability to
OBJECTIVE
Tracheomalacia is characterized by weakness of the tracheal wall resulting in dynamic airway collapse during respiration; severe cases often require surgical intervention. Off-label external splinting with degradable implants has been reported in humans; however, there remains a need to
Tracheomalacia (TM) is well known as a complication associated with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF); however, the occurrence of TM requiring surgical treatment in a patient having EA without a tracheoesophageal fistula has never been reported. We describe herein a rare
The clinical features of tracheomalacia depend on the location, length, and severity of the weakness of the tracheal wall. There is firm evidence that tracheomalacia in association with tracheoesophageal fistula is due to malformation and deficiency in the tracheal wall, but in other types of
Tracheomalacia remains a special entity present also in children and adults. Tracheomalacia refers to a weakness of the trachea. Bronchoscopy is the "golden standard" for diagnosis. Differential diagnosis includes foreign body aspiration, difficult controlled asthma and other diseases. This disease
Tracheomalacia is a condition of the neonatal and infant airway, characterized by weakness of the supporting tracheal cartilage and widening of the posterior membranous wall. Together, these factors cause tracheal collapse, especially during times of increased airflow. The diagnosis of major airway
The term tracheomalacia indicates a condition characterized by a structural abnormality of the tracheal cartilage inducing excessive collapsibility of the trachea. It constitutes about half of the congenital pathologies of the trachea and is distinguished in diffuse and localized varieties depending
Three children with tracheomalacia had tracheal reinforcement with free three-quarter circumference ring grafts of autologous cartilage taken from the costal margin. A low cervical manubrium-splitting approach gave excellent access to the anterior mediastinum and the intrathoracic trachea in two
Tracheomalacia is characterized by weakness of the tracheal walls and supporting cartilage. It results in dynamic compression of the airway, where the cross-sectional area of the trachea is reduced by expiratory compression. Acquired tracheomalacia results from complications associated with the use
Tracheomalacia is a condition characterized by weakness of the tracheal walls and supporting cartilage. It may be congenital, occurring in association with other lesions, such as vascular ring, tracheoesophageal fistula, dyschondroplasia, congenital cysts or tumors, or it may be acquired, most
Tracheomalacia (TM) or bronchomalacia (BM) refers to softness or weakness of the trachea or the bronchi. Its management is not evidenced-based. Conservative therapy is preferred in milder cases, since the outcome is usually favourable within the first 2 years of life. The clinical utility of
Tracheomalacia (TM) is a weakness of the trachea either due to impaired cartilage integrity or atrophy of muscular elastic fibers. We present the first-ever case of chronic vaping induced altered immunological defenses that led to frequent pulmonary infections, ultimately culminating in severe TM
Tracheobronchomalacia is a weakness of the trachea and bronchi due to abnormal cartilage and muscular support leading to airway obstruction. We report a case of an adult former smoker without pulmonary symptoms who underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy in the steep Trendelenburg
Tracheal laceration is a rare complication of endotracheal intubation. We present a case of tracheal laceration after a simple prehospital tracheal intubation in a patient with severe tracheomalacia. The most likely cause of the tracheal injury was massive overinflation of the endotracheal tube cuff
Tracheomalacia is a rare condition characterized by weakness of tracheobronchial cartilaginous bridges. Severe weakness results in tracheal collapse during inspiration, obstructing normal airflow. Tracheomalacia may also be associated with esophageal atresia, tracheoesophageal fistula, and
