Abstract

The primary form of tracheal dyskinesia in early childhood is a rare congenital malformation of unknown origin. The degree of the posterior membranous tracheal wall involvement determines the intensity of obstruction and the severity of the clinical picture. The aim of this paper is to present a case of a 14-month-old child with severe tracheal dyskinesia that required surgical treatment. Fascia lata graft fixated with fibrin glue was used in strengthening the posterior tracheal wall. Three years following the surgery, the child is without breathing difficulties. In severe cases of primary dyskinesia, surgical treatment using fascia lata graft, fixated with fibrin glue is recommended in strengthening the posterior tracheal wall.
