Tracheal calcification in children may be congenital or acquired. The authors describe three children in whom tracheal or tracheobronchial calcification was noted on radiographs after prosthetic mitral valve replacement and after long periods of warfarin sodium therapy. Laryngeal and tracheal calcification has been known to occur in warfarin embryopathy. This suggests that possibility of warfarin sodium as an etiologic factor in the development of the tracheal or tracheobronchial calcification in these children. However, further investigation is necessary.
儿童气管钙化可能是先天性的或后天获得性的。作者描述了三名儿童，他们在人工二尖瓣置换术后以及长期接受华法林钠治疗后，在X线片上发现了气管或气管支气管钙化。已知华法林胚胎病会出现喉和气管钙化。这表明华法林钠可能是这些儿童气管或气管支气管钙化发生的病因。然而，还需要进一步的研究。
