Abstract

A case of congenital tracheal stenosis is reported. The diagnosis was made on plain X-ray, tomography and computerized axial tomography of the trachea when the child was 8 years old. The operative approach was via a median sternotomy and anaesthesia maintained with dual simultaneous ventilation of the right upper lobe bronchus and distal trachea. Histology of the stenotic area revealed the cartilaginous rings to be completely encircling the trachea.
