Tracheal Stenosis

Tracheal stenosis is a medical condition where the trachea, or windpipe, becomes narrowed. This narrowing can result from various causes, including injury, infection, or chronic inflammation. When the trachea is constricted, it can make breathing difficult and lead to symptoms such as a wheezing sound, coughing, or shortness of breath. Treatment options vary depending on the severity and cause, ranging from medications and monitoring to surgical procedures aimed at widening the airway. Early diagnosis and management are important to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
