Background: Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is a life-threatening disease that commonly results in airway obstruction children. Traditional treatments such as laryngotracheal reconstruction and balloon dilation all have the risk of restenosis. It great importance to spare patients morbidity LTS risks restenosis associated with these treatments. Laboratory clinical trials focused on fibrosis, cru...

BACKGROUND Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis is a rare and potentially lethal form of airway obstruction in newborns. Immediate recognition and appropriate therapy are mandatory for this potentially life-threating condition. This anomaly may present as an isolated malformation or may be associated with other cranial-facial anomalies. Clinically, CNPS shows unspecific symptoms of nasal...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine the utility of forced oscillation technique (FOT) for measuring pulmonary resistance and reactance in patients with central nervous system injuries, for detection and follow-up of posttracheostomy tracheal stenosis. DESIGN Case series. SETTING A rehabilitation hospital, Brasilia, Distrito Federal, Brazil. PATIENTS Ten consecutive neurologically impaired patie...
