Symptoms of tracheal stenosis in children

summary

Congenital tracheal stenosis, so the treatment has become a more concerned topic. Is a rare structural obstructive airway disease, so let's share the symptoms of tracheal stenosis in children.

Symptoms of tracheal stenosis in children

First, the clinical manifestation of congenital airway stenosis mainly depends on the age of the child, the degree and length of stenosis, and other malformations.

Second: lack of characteristic clinical manifestations, which can be manifested as repeated cough, wheezing and dyspnea, combined with infection and fever. Children with mild stenosis may have no obvious symptoms. It can be found in physical examination that with the increase of activity, exertional dyspnea gradually presents. In severe cases, they may have respiratory distress in infancy, leading to death.

Third: because most of the children have other congenital malformations, these malformations may aggravate or cover up the relevant clinical manifestations, serious cases can lead to death, so children delay diagnosis and lose the best opportunity for treatment.

matters needing attention

Congenital tracheal stenosis is a rare kind of structural obstructive airway disease, which can threaten the life of children. But its clinical symptoms lack specificity, so timely and effective treatment is a great challenge. The treatment of congenital tracheal stenosis mainly depends on the clinical manifestations and anatomical characteristics. No matter the length and degree of tracheal stenosis, sliding tracheoplasty has advantages. It is also feasible to use the posterior end-to-end anastomosis after resection of short segment stenosis. Bronchoscopic interventional therapy has an irreplaceable therapeutic effect on postoperative restenosis, while tracheal transplantation based on tissue stem cell engineering shows great potential, but it still needs further research and improvement.
