Tracheal Stricture

A 33-week-gestation infant with respiratory distress syndrome is reported. At five days of age, acute life-threatening tracheal obstruction occurred, which was relieved after removal of a plug during bronchoscopy. Histologic examination of the plug revealed partially necrotic tracheal mucosa, compatible with the diagnosis of necrotizing tracheobronchitis. At 31 days of age, obstruction recurred due to the development of a tracheal stricture, which resolved after tracheal reintubation (to maintain patency) and corticosteroid therapy. Tracheal stricture may be a long-term complication of necrotizing tracheobronchitis, when the initial episode does not lead to death from obstruction.

The occurrence of a noninfectious interstitial lung disease is a rare but life-threatening side effect of infliximab, an antitumor necrosis factor alpha antibody. The following case report of a patient with Crohn disease shows an extremely dramatic progression to a severe acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Life Threatening

Abstract Mediastinal teratomas are uncommon, fast-growing thoracic tumours, which are usually diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. Neonatal forms are the rarest and often present with life-threatening respiratory distress syndrome. In our case, respiratory failure in a neonate was aggravated by severe cardiogenic shock due to aortic and systemic venous compression, extreme heart displacement and rotation, necessitating an emergency operation on the first day of life.
