Abstract
Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is a rare condition affecting the trachea and main stem bronchi. This condition is characterized by excessive airway narrowing (more than 50% of lumen) during forceful breathing and coughing. Patients present with chronic cough, dyspnea on exertion and sometimes symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. It can be congenital or acquired. Acquired TBM may occur due to damage to the airway cartilage. Treatment is symptomatic. In severe cases airway stents may be useful.
