Congenital tracheal lesions are rare, but important, causes of morbidity in infants and children. Consequently, experience in their management is limited and dispersed. Given its small diameter, the juvenile trachea is obstructed easily by various natural causes, or following a surgical intervention. The diagnosis of a congenital, tracheal, obstructive anomaly is based on a high degree of suspicion in infants and children with respiratory distress accompanied by retraction. In this article, the authors discuss the various causes of these conditions, their diagnostic features, and the treatment possibilities.
