Congenital tracheal diseases: diagnosis and management
نویسنده
چکیده
Aims/Objectives They contain two lesions: anomaly and stenosis. They may associate with other congenital lesions especially pulmonary artery sling. Tracheal stenosis is the main factor causing airway obstruction. Depend on the degree of tracheal stenosis, clinical manifestation ranges from having some episodes of stridor to severe respiratory failure and death. Reconstruction surgery is the method of choice for severe cases.

The ectopic tracheal bronchus: management of a child by excision and segmental pulmonary resection.
Smelt7 described several variations of the congenital anomaly which they termed tracheal lobe. Essentially, an otherwise normal right upper lobe bronchus originates above the tracheal carina or bifurcation and provides the customary three segmental divisions. There may, however, be a complete duplication of the right upper lobe bronchus by an ectopic tracheal bronchus. Usually the anterior and ...
متن کاملCase report: Endotracheal tube malposition in a patient with a tracheal bronchus.
PURPOSE A tracheal bronchus is a congenital abnormality of the tracheobronchial tree, in which a displaced or accessory bronchus arises from the trachea superior to its bifurcation. We report a patient with a tracheal bronchus that was found incidentally during surgery in the prone position, and the potential airway management problems which may have ensued. CLINICAL FEATURES A 70-yr-old fema...

A variety of congenital anomalies arise within the laryngeal or tracheal airway. Symptoms primarily include airway obstruction, hoarseness, and difficulty feeding. The diagnosis is typically made by a combination of clinical presentation, physical examination, and endoscopic evaluation. Definitive intervention may be necessary requiring endoscopic or open laryngeal surgery. Some of the more com...

In this report we describe a newborn with a rare case of Type II tracheal agenesis and bronchoesophageal fistula. Polyhydramnios and suspected esophageal atresia were identified during routine pre-natal ultrasound screening. Upon delivery, rigid bronchoscopy, esophagoscopy, and intraoperative fluoroscopy were performed, where both bronchi and the carina showed unusual horizontal orientation mak...
متن کاملManagement of Congenital Tracheal Stenosis.
Congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) is a serious and rare condition. In most cases, stenotic lesions are composed of complete tracheal rings of cartilage.The severity of symptoms correlates with the length of affected trachea, the presence of concomitant respiratory conditions, degree of luminal narrowing,and any bronchial involvement. Critically, CTS is a disorder that can lead to life-threaten...
