PRIMARY CONGENITAL TRACHEAL STENOSIS IN AN INFANT

Children’s Surgery National Applied Research Hospital 1, Minsk Scientific and Practical Center of Surgery, Transplantology and Hematology2 N.N. Alexandrov National Cancer Centre of Belarus3, Belarusian State Medical University 4 Minsk, The Republic of Belarus

Primary congenital stenosis of the trachea is a rare malformation and occurs in 1 of 64,500 newborns, prevailing in boys. Combined malformations are detected in 80% of these patients, and cardiovascular malformations are in half of the cases. The clinical picture of the tracheal stenosis is non-specific, especially in children older than 1 month. Generally, symptoms can be distinguished for all age groups: stridor, tachypnea, tachycardia, acrocyanosis, perioral cyanosis, which are aggravated during feeding and physical exertion. Without surgical treatment mortality reaches 80%.
The article presents a clinical observation of an 8-year-months child with multiple congenital malformations: congenital heart disease, diverticulum and tracheal stenosis at the Th2 level, bilateral vesicoureteral reflux, grade 4, right ureterohydronephrosis.
Clinical manifestations of tracheal stenosis haven’t been marked in this patient for a long time, as a result, the defect was suspected quite late. The diagnosis was estimated by tracheobronchoscopy, angiopulmonography, bronchography and computed tomography.
The patient underwent a circular resection of the thoracic trachea with an “end-to-end” anastomosis under conditions of cardiopulmonary bypass. The child was discharged home on the 15th day in satisfactory condition.
