Instead of being rigid, the walls of the trachea are floppy, resulting in breathing difficulties soon after birth. Babies born with tracheomalacia may have other congenital abnormalities, such as heart defects, developmental delays and gastroesophageal reflux.
Stenosis of trachea; Tracheal disease; Tracheal stenosis; Tracheomalacia; ICD-10-CM J39.8 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v 38.0): 011 Tracheostomy for face, mouth and neck diagnoses or laryngectomy with mcc; 012 Tracheostomy for face, mouth and neck diagnoses or laryngectomy with cc
If you present with symptoms of tracheomalacia, your doctor will usually order a CT scan, pulmonary function tests, and depending on results, a bronchoscopy or laryngoscopy. A bronchoscopy is often required to diagnose tracheomalacia.

Tracheomalacia is a rare condition that usually presents at birth. The walls of your windpipe are typically rigid, but in tracheomalacia, the cartilage doesn’t develop properly in utero, leaving ...
Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is the abnormal collapse of the windpipe. TBM leads to cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and phlegm. Learn about treatment options at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
In this Helping Hand™document, we discuss tracheomalacia, which is when the walls of a child’s windpipe (trachea) collapse. If the collapsed part of the windpipe goes past the area where it branches off into the two lungs, it is called bronchomalacia. This causes noisy or difficult breathing.
INTRODUCTION. Tracheomalacia (TM) refers to diffuse or segmental tracheal weakness [].There are two distinct anatomical forms: cartilaginous malacia characterized by softening of the cartilage and membranous malacia with excessive anterior displacement of the membranous wall (also known as excessive dynamic airway collapse [EDAC]).
The respiratory system is made up of the lungs and the nose, mouth, throat, voice box, windpipe, diaphragm, and muscles of the chest wall. This system controls breathing, providing the body with oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide.
Abstract: Tracheobronchomalacia is a form of expiratory central airway collapse characterized by softening of the airway wall cartilaginous structures. Symptoms often mimic asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Pulmonary function test results may suggest a diagnosis, but findings are neither sensitive nor specific. Bronchoscopy and novel dynamic radiographic studies contribute to ...
Treatment. Most infants respond well to humidified air, careful feedings and antibiotics for infections. Babies with tracheomalacia must be closely monitored when they have respiratory infections. Often, the symptoms of tracheomalacia improve as the infant grows. Rarely, surgery is needed.
Congenital tracheomalacia generally goes away on its own between 18 and 24 months. As the tracheal cartilage gets stronger and the trachea grows, the noisy respirations and breathing difficulties gradually stop.
A physical examination confirms the symptoms. A chest X-ray may show narrowing of the trachea when breathing in. A procedure called a laryngoscopy, which allows the otolaryngologist to see the airway structure, provides a definitive diagnosis. Other tests may include: Airway fluoroscopy. Barium swallow.
Instead of being rigid, the walls of the trachea are floppy, resulting in breathing difficulties soon after birth. Babies born with tracheomalacia may have other congenital abnormalities, such as heart defects, developmental delays and gastroesophageal reflux. Also, aspiration pneumonia can occur from inhaling food.
How’s it diagnosed? If you present with symptoms of tracheomalacia, your doctor will usually order a CT scan, pulmonary function tests, and depending on results, a bronchoscopy or laryngoscopy. A bronchoscopy is often required to diagnose tracheomalacia.
Tracheomalacia is a rare condition that usually presents at birth. Typically, the walls in your windpipe are rigid. In tracheomalacia, the cartilage of the windpipe does not develop properly in utero, leaving them weak and flaccid.
Tracheomalacia is often detected in babies between the ages of 4 and 8 weeks. Often the baby has been born with the condition, but it’s not until they start to breathe in enough air to cause wheezing that the condition is noticed.
Children often outgrow tracheomalacia by the time they’re 3 years old. Because of this, invasive treatments are usually not considered until this time has passed, unless the condition is extremely severe.
Tracheomalacia is an extremely rare condition in any age group. In children, it’s usually a manageable condition in which the symptoms lessen over time and are often completely eliminated by the time the child is 3.
The kind of surgery offered will depend upon the type and location of their tracheomalacia. The treatment options for adults with tracheomalacia are the same as those for children, but treatment is less successful in adults.
