Six premature infants with congenital tracheal stenosis underwent diagnostic evaluation. Clinical features and chest roentgenograms were nonspecific; difficulty with intubation was the most common clinical finding and persistent lobar collapse the more common radiologic finding. The diagnosis was established by bronchoscopy in all infants. In the differential diagnosis of the sick premature infant, problems with airway patency must be considered because early intervention may reduce morbidity and mortality.
六名患有先天性气管狭窄的早产儿接受了诊断评估。临床特征和胸部X光片无特异性；插管困难是最常见的临床发现，持续性肺叶萎陷是较常见的放射学表现。所有婴儿均通过支气管镜检查确诊。在患病早产儿的鉴别诊断中，必须考虑气道通畅问题，因为早期干预可能降低发病率和死亡率。
