A 17-year-old man was injured in a motorcycle accident, leading to a complex cerebral contusion and hepatic injury. Approximately one month after being discharged from the hospital, the patient experienced gradually progressive dyspnea on exertion. Chest computed tomography revealed severe upper tracheal stenosis; thus, emergency tracheotomy and subsequent tracheoplasty were performed. Microscopically, the deformation of tracheal cartilage and extensive interstitial ossification/fibro-elastic changes were observed. To our knowledge, this is the first report documenting the ossification of the trachea that rapidly progressed after injury, which was confirmed by surgical resection of the upper trachea.
一名17岁男性在摩托车事故中受伤,导致复杂的脑挫伤和肝损伤。出院后约一个月,患者在运动时出现逐渐加重的呼吸困难。胸部计算机断层扫描显示严重的上气管狭窄;因此,进行了紧急气管切开术及后续的气管成形术。显微镜下观察到气管软骨变形以及广泛的间质骨化/纤维弹性改变。据我们所知,这是第一例记录受伤后气管骨化迅速进展的报告,通过对上段气管的手术切除得以证实。
