Tracheal Obstruction Due to Congenital Tracheomalacia in A Child: Case Report

Abstract

Congenital tracheal obstruction, though not notably uncommon in infancy, is rarely due to isolated tracheomalacia, especially when characterized by complete absence of cartilaginous rings. A 5-year-old boy underwent successful tracheal resection and anastomosis following severe tracheal obstruction due to aplasia of cartilaginous rings.
