  2. Tracheomalacia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheomalacia

    Tracheomalacia is a condition or incident where the cartilage that keeps the airway (trachea) open is soft such that the trachea partly collapses especially during increased airflow. This condition is most commonly seen in infants and young children. [ 2 ]

  3. Tracheobronchomalacia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheobronchomalacia

    Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is a condition characterized by flaccidity of the tracheal support cartilage which leads to tracheal collapse. [1] This condition can also affect the bronchi.

  4. Bronchomalacia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchomalacia

    Bronchomalacia can best be described as a birth defect of the bronchus in the respiratory tract. Congenital malacia of the large airways is one of the few causes of irreversible airways obstruction in children, with symptoms varying from recurrent wheeze and recurrent lower airways infections to severe dyspnea and respiratory insufficiency.

  5. Tracheitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheitis

    A collapsed trachea is formed as a result of defect in the cartilage, that makes the cartilage unable to support the trachea and results in dry hacking cough. In this condition there can be inflammation of the linings of the trachea. If the connective nerve tissues in the trachea degenerate it causes tracheomalacia.

  6. Trachea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachea

    Congenital tracheomalacia often improves without specific intervention; when required, interventions may include beta agonists and muscarinic agonists, which enhance the tone of the smooth muscle surrounding the trachea; positive pressure ventilation, or surgery, which may include the placement of a stent, or the removal of the affected part of ...

  7. Trachealis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachealis_muscle

    Tracheomalacia may involve hypotonia of the trachealis muscle. [6]The trachealis muscle may become stiffer during ageing, which makes the whole trachea less elastic. [7]In infants, the insertion of an oesophagogastroduodenoscope into the oesophagus may compress the trachealis muscle, and narrow the trachea. [8]

  8. Aortopexy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortopexy

    It is used to treat severe tracheomalacia or tracheal compression. The procedure was originally proposed as a treatment for tracheomalacia Filler et al. [ 1 ] in 1976. References

  9. Double aortic arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_aortic_arch

    Scheduled repair soon after birth in symptomatic patients can relieve tracheal compression early and therefore potentially prevent the development of severe tracheomalacia. Chest X-ray: Plain chest x-rays of patients with double aortic arch may appear normal (often) or show a dominant right aortic arch or two aortic arches . There might be ...
