We report on a white boy with Hallermann-Streiff syndrome (HSS) who also had tracheomalacia. Chronic respiratory insufficiency led to biventricular failure and death at age 6 months. There have been no previously reported cases of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome with documented tracheomalacia. However,
Wheezing in the infant with bronchopulmonary dysplasia results from various pathophysiologic mechanisms, including upper or central airway obstruction. We report an infant with bronchopulmonary dysplasia who presented with episodic wheezing associated with hypoxia and bradycardia without evidence of
Tracheomalacia is a process characterized by softness of the supporting tracheal cartilages, by the extension of the posterior membranous wall and by reduction of the tracheal antero-posterior diameter. Exceptionally, tracheomalacia can be associated with tracheobronchomegaly or Mounier-Kuhn
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
127 cases of tracheal dyskinesia were seen in infants and children out of which 87 were 1 to 12 months of age. The diagnosis was based on the existence of a collapse reducing the tracheal diameter of more than 50% on endoscopy. Endoscopic examination was performed without general anesthesia. This
In infants with esophageal atresia (EA), lung opacities on a chest radiograph (CXR) are usually considered the cause of respiratory distress (RD). However, in some instances signs of RD and CXR changes show no correlation. The aim of this study was to investigate the pathogenesis of RD in EA
We have analyzed the complications in 132 patients who had surgical treatment of sleep apnea or excessive snoring. In this series there were 34 (26%) complications and two patients (1.5%) died. Complications related to uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in 126 patients included rhinolalia (2%) and
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is the failure of the autonomic system to control adequate ventilation while asleep with preserved ventilatory response while awake. We report a case of a patient with CCHS who presented with intrathoracic and extrathoracic airway obstruction after
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
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of airway obstruction with hypoxia during emergence from anesthesia due to unexpected tracheobronchomalacia in a child.
METHODS
In a previously healthy 22-month-old boy with no symptoms or signs of respiratory disease, general anesthesia was induced by inhalation of
