“…6,7 The incidence of tracheal bronchus is reported to be approximately 0.5-3.0%. 7,11,12 Several variants of tracheal bronchus are depicted in Figure 3. 8 A tracheal bronchus involving the upper lobe bronchus has more important anesthetic implications than involvement of the segmental bronchus, as obstruction by an ETT or double-lumen tube would result in a larger area of atelectasis and shunting.…”

“…6,8,11 A tracheal bronchus also may occur in association with other congenital anomalies such as tracheoesophageal fistula, tracheal stenosis and Down's syndrome. [10][11][12][13][14][15] Recognition of a tracheal bronchus before induction of anesthesia can be helpful for determining optimal positioning of the ETT. 1 More frequently, the anesthesiologist may be unaware of the presence of tracheal bronchus, which could have important implications in the diagnosis and management of intraoperative hypoxia or atelectasis.…”

“…The upper respiratory tract in persons with Down syndrome is often narrow due to congenital and associated conditions [23][24][25]. The trachea is often smaller in children with Down syndrome [26], and tracheal bronchus contributes to recurrent pneumonia [27,28]. Airway malacia causes obstruction in >50% of children with Down syndrome, with other causes more prevalent in adults [29,30].…”

Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality among live-born infants. Through full or partial trisomy of chromosome 21, Down syndrome is associated with cognitive impairment, congenital malformations ( particularly cardiovascular) and dysmorphic features. Immune disturbances in Down syndrome account for an enormous disease burden ranging from quality-of-life issues (autoimmune alopecia) to more serious health issues (autoimmune thyroiditis) and life-threatening issues (leukaemia, respiratory tract infections and pulmonary hypertension). Cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases account for ∼75% of the mortality seen in persons with Down syndrome. This review summarises the cardiovascular, respiratory and immune challenges faced by individuals with Down syndrome, and the genetic underpinnings of their pathobiology. We strongly advocate increased comparative studies of cardiopulmonary disease in persons with and without Down syndrome, as we believe these will lead to new strategies to prevent and treat diseases affecting millions of people worldwide.

“…Tracheal bronchus (also referred to as "pig bronchus") is an anomaly in which the origin of the right upper lobe bronchus is from the right lateral wall of the trachea. 21 Bridging bronchus is a malformation wherein the right middle and lower lobes of the lung are supplied by a horizontal bronchus arising from the left main bronchus. [22][23][24] Bronchial trifurcation involves tracheal division into 3 bronchi at the level of the carina.…”

Congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) is a serious and rare condition. In most cases, stenotic lesions are composed of complete tracheal rings of cartilage. The severity of symptoms correlates with the length of affected trachea, the presence of concomitant respiratory conditions, degree of luminal narrowing, and any bronchial involvement. Critically, CTS is a disorder that can lead to life-threatening respiratory insufficiency in children. Thus, it is a clinical entity that demands timely diagnosis and treatment. This review will firstly discuss the anatomy and pathophysiology of CTS and outline the various clinical presentations associated with the disorder. In addition, methods of diagnosis and treatment strategies will be reviewed, with a focus on contemporary surgical techniques. Finally, postoperative care of patients with CTS will be reviewed, and a contemporary multidisciplinary management approach will be presented.
