Benign tracheobronchial stenosis of the proximal airways may result from a variety of conditions and can cause dyspnea, cough, wheeze or stridor.
In this report, we describe the case of a 9-year-old boy who was admitted to hospital with wheezing and progressive dyspnea lasting for six months. These abnormalities were diagnosed by multislice CT with 3-dimensional reconstruction of the trachea and by videobronchoscopy which demonstrated severe tracheal stenosis and an orifice of a tracheal diverticulum on the right side of the upper trachea. The stenosis was dilated with a balloon and vaporized with an Nd:YAG laser. Due to recurrent stenosis, the laser procedure had to be repeated several times in an approximately 4-6-month interval.
Association between recurrent membranous tracheal stenosis and a tracheal diverticulum is a rare medical condition.
近端气道的良性气管支气管狭窄可能由多种情况引起，并可导致呼吸困难、咳嗽、喘息或喘鸣。
在本报告中，我们描述了一名9岁男孩的病例，他因喘息和进行性呼吸困难入院，症状持续了6个月。通过多层螺旋CT气管三维重建和视频支气管镜检查确诊了这些异常，检查显示严重的气管狭窄以及气管上段右侧的一个气管憩室开口。狭窄部位先用球囊扩张，再用钕钇铝石榴石激光汽化。由于狭窄复发，激光手术必须每隔约4 - 6个月重复进行几次。
复发性膜性气管狭窄与气管憩室之间的关联是一种罕见的病症。
