  The cartilage then shows necrosis and collapses. The final result of this process is a weak cartilage framework and a firm scar narrowing the subglottic airway. [saudija.org]

  Visualization also reveals inward collapse of the aryepiglottic folds (cuneiform cartilages) on inspiration and bulky arytenoids that prolapse on inspiration (1). Management is expectant with simple reassurance for parents. [hawaii.edu]

  Another major cause of revision surgery was peristomal tracheomalacia or suprastomal collapse. This condition was associated with decannulation failure because of tracheal collapse during spontaneous respiration. [academic.oup.com]

  Often, if the collapse or scar extends into the area of the tracheotomy site, longer-term stent placement is required with an Aboulker stent that is attached to a metal Holinger tracheotomy tube with wire (see Picture 23, Picture 24 ) or a Montgomery [tracheostomy.com]

• Subglottic Narrowing

  Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is a narrowing of the airway below the vocal cords (subglottis) and above the trachea. Subglottic stenosis will involve narrowing of the cricoid, the only complete cartilage ring in the airway. [chop.edu]

  Under the same anesthetic, a balloon dilatation of the subglottic narrowing to 12 mm under a pressure of 3 atmospheres and to 15 mm under a pressure of 8 atmospheres was performed, resulting in noticeable improvement of the subglottic narrowing. [hoajonline.com]

  Simple neck X-rays can also detect SGS, and are often used to diagnose the acute subglottic narrowing seen in croup. [entokey.com]

  Evaluation of the child with possible congenital subglottic stenosis may include the use of endolateral neck x-rays to look for narrowing in the subglottic region. [virtualpediatrichospital.org]

  A history of recurrent croup may support the diagnosis of congenital subglottic stenosis. Subglottic narrowing may be noted on plain lateral and AP x-rays and the diagnosis is made with rigid bronchoscopy. [hawaii.edu]
