Study Notes
Tracheomalacia and Bronchomalacia
- Weakness in the airway, similar to laryngomalacia
- Characterized by obstruction and difficult secretion clearance
- Presents with expiratory stridor, unlike laryngomalacia which presents with inspiratory stridor
- Can be secondary to external conditions, such as vascular ring
- Associated with Tracheoesophageal Fistula (TEF)
- Associated with mediastinal mass
- Associated with cardiac abnormalities
Severity
- Tracheobronchomalacia is usually mild
