Tracheal neoplasms are rare, accounting for 0.10.2% of all malignant neoplasms [I.I. Davydovskyi, 1940]. Data from the database of the National Cancer Institute for Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results indicate that primary tracheal carcinomas occur with an incidence of 0.7% of new cases per million people [Houston, 1963]. Patients with tracheal tumors can have severe airway obstruction. In addition to primary tracheal neoplasms, secondary tracheal affection may occur due to lesion of surrounding tissues such as thyroid, larynx, and lungs - 15.3%.

AbstractThe most common tracheal neoplasms are epidermoid carcinomas, papillomas and cylindromas. Kaposi's sarcoma, confined primarily to the trachea, is one of the rarest tumours. The clinical and histological picture of a case of Kaposi's sarcoma of the trachea in a young, pregnant woman, presenting with severe airway obstruction, is described here. The emergency tracheoscopy dislodged a mass from the trachea, which turned out to be a Kaposi's sarcoma on histology. Although Kaposi's sarcoma is one of the manifestations of AIDS, this patient had neither any underlying immunodeficiency nor any skin, visceral or lymphatic lesions.

Severe Airway Obstruction

In 62 children with bronchial asthma, the presence of subjective dyspnea and wheeze, and some physical signs commonly associated with chronic obstructive airway disease in older patients, were compared with results of routine pulmonary function tests. Overall, airway resistance and the relationships of residual volume and functional residual capacity to total lung capacity were increased and other measurements of pulmonary function were moderately decreased. The time-honored subjective dyspnea, wheeze, rhonchi, and prolonged expiration were least useful as indices of severity of disease. Most of the patients, particularly those in whom laboratory testing revealed marked impairment, had notable rhonchi, prolonged expiration, scalene muscle and sternocleidomastoid contraction, and supraclavicular indrawing. Only sternocleidomastoid contraction and supraclavicular indrawing clearly correlated with the severity of airway obstruction. A call is made for a search for these useful signs, whose presence may be the only clue to moderately severe disease; however, their absence does not guarantee absence of severe airway obstruction.

Severe Airway Obstruction

In patients with chronic obstructive lung disease, we determined single-breath N2 and 133 Xe washout curves, and regional distributions of volumes (Vr) and of 133Xe boluses inhaled at residual volume (VIRV). Patients suffering from emphysema with minimal airway obstruction demonstrated large closing volumes and apicobasal distribution gradients, apparently because of a steep pulmonary recoil pressure-volume curve. In one subject with basal small airway disease there was no vertical gradient in regional residual volume; closing volume was increased with the 133Xe technique but almost absent with the N2 technique. Patients with moderate-to-severe airway obstruction had upward-sloping alveolar plateaus without distinct phase IV, and small apicobasal differences in Vr and VIRV. The latter resulted probably from increased regional differences in time constants counteracting the influence of gravity. Finally, patients with severe airway obstruction and basal emphysema demonstrated a rising N2 but a descending 133Xe plateau; the gradient for VIRV was normal, and reversed for Vr. This pattern was attributed to nongravitational differences in time constants causing a first in-first out distribution.

Severe Airway Obstruction

The present report describes a case of severe airway obstruction caused by endobronchial tuberculosis in an 11-year-old girl who was successfully treated by bronchoscopic balloon dilation. This case illustrates the insidious presentation and the increasingly important role of bronchoscopic intervention in the management of endobronchial tuberculosis. In addition, a brief literature review of the condition in the pediatric age group is included.
