Severe tracheal stenosis with tracheopathia osteoplastica-like changes due to traumatic blunt injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 17-year-old man was injured in a motorcycle accident, leading to a complex cerebral contusion and hepatic injury. Approximately one month after being discharged from the hospital, the patient experienced gradually progressive dyspnea on exertion. Chest computed tomography revealed severe upper tracheal stenosis; thus, emergency tracheotomy and subsequent tracheoplasty were performed. Microscopically, the deformation of tracheal cartilage and extensive interstitial ossification/fibro-elastic changes were observed. To our knowledge, this is the first report documenting the ossification of the trachea that rapidly progressed after injury, which was confirmed by surgical resection of the upper trachea.

Tracheal botryomycosis has never been reported in the literature. A 68 year old man presented with progressive dyspnoea and an exophytic mass below the vocal cords was found by bronchoscopy. Pathological study of the mass showed tracheal botryomycosis probably associated with Peptostreptococcus spp infection. The patient was given intravenous penicillin for six weeks. Tracheal obstruction neces...

The most common cause of airway stenosis is prolonged intubation. Postintubation stenosis may be a delayed onset and may progress gradually. Endoscopic assessment and deciding to do a tracheostomy after 7 days is advised in adults. Segmented resection and primary anastomosis is the most effective modality of treatment for complete or near-complete tracheal stenosis. Surgeon’s ability for re...
