abstract

introduction: tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (tpo) is a rare benign disorder of the lower part of the trachea and the upper part of the main bronchi.   case report: a case of tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (tpo) diagnosed at the time of intubation in an intensive care unit due to difficulty when advancing the endotracheal tube beyond the vocal cords, is reported. a problem was encountered which had not been reported previously in tpo: repeated cuff rupture at the time of surgical tracheostomy occurred possibly because of bony and cartilaginous tissue located in the tracheal wall.   conclusion:  in addition to difficulty of intubation, tpo may cause tracheostomy tube cuff rupture, which could be explained due to bonny calcification in the tracheal wall.

Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica: Case report and literature review

Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica — case report and literature review

Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TBO) is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterised by a formation of multiple, cartilaginous and osteocartilaginous submucosal nodules in the trachea and major bronchi. The course of the disease is usually benign but the narrowing of the respiratory tract can lead to chronic non-specific clinical symptoms. We present a case of a 50-year old man w...

Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica.

6 cases of tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica are discussed. Diagnoses were established ante mortem. Endoscopic examination was performed in 3 patients because of hematic expectoration, in the other 3 cases the induction was given by chronic bronchorhea, slow-resolving pneumonia and suspected neoplasia, respectively. Calcification and cartilaginous areas were restricted to a small portio...
