“…[1][2][3]6 There are reports of malignancies developing from TB, 7 and it has been associated with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. 8 During endotracheal intubation, an endotracheal tube can occlude the lumen of the TB, resulting in atelectasis of the involved lobe or segment. 9,10 Patients with TB who undergo anesthesia also have a greater risk of atelectasis or hypoxia due to the possibility of the endotracheal tube slipping into the anomalous bronchi; the pulmonary consequences of TB are all exacerbated by endotracheal tube intubation.…”

Neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) often have other major malformations. Anatomic airway anomalies associated with CDH include congenital stenosis, pulmonary hypoplasia, and abnormal bronchial branching. We describe an infant with CDH who, after developing recurrent upper-lobe atelectasis, was found to have a right tracheal bronchus. This clinically significant anomaly can have important and potentially preventable adverse consequences.

“…Abnor¬ malities consistent with reduced perfusion have been observed in proximal bronchial cartilage of asymptomatic lung transplant recipients .9 Bronchomalacia has been previously described in lung transplant recipients in association with oblitera¬ tive bronchiolitis (OR). 10 Impaired bronchial blood flow is thought to contribute to development of bronchoma¬ lacia in OR. Rronchial blood flow is reduced in animal models of acute rejection, and similar reductions may occur in patients with acute or chronic rejection.10 In addition, immunologic factors associated with OR may also contribute to the development of bronchomalacia with OR.…”

Tracheobronchial anomalies (TBA) originate between the third and sixteenth week of gestation, and they primarily affect the main bronchi. The reported incidence varies between 1-3% of pediatric endoscopic studies. The objective of our review was to describe the clinical characteristics of patients with TBA diagnosed by flexible bronchoscopy (FB). During the period from March 1993-May 2001, we performed 580 FB at the Pediatric Services of the Catholic University Hospital. During this study period, 52 patients (9.65%) had a TBA (32 males, or 61.5%), with a mean age of 21.2 months (range, 7 days to 6 years). In 39 cases (75%), the diagnosis was made under age 2 years. Thirty-six patients with symptoms related to TBA were symptomatic (70%), and in 16 cases (30%) the TBA was an accidental finding during FB. The main clinical manifestations were recurrent atelectasis of the right upper lobe (RUL), recurrent pneumonia, or congenital stridor. Most of the TBA were localized at the RUL bronchus (47%) and were characterized by an anomaly at its origin, either agenesis or a supernumerary bronchus. Also, we found patients with tracheal bronchus and congenital tracheal stenosis. In 6 patients (12%), we had more than one TBA, the most frequent being the association between RUL and RML anomalies. In 12 cases we found another congenital airway anomaly, mainly laryngomalacia. Patients had associated diseases, such as genetic disorders in 16 cases (particularly Down syndrome), and congenital cardiopathies. In summary, in our clinical experience, TBA are more frequent than previously reported. The majority of young patients have symptoms or signs, and most are localized to the RUL. We found patients with more than one TBA, laryngomalacia associated with TBA, and at a high frequency related to Down syndrome.
