Abstract
- We experienced tracheobronchial stenosis caused by malrotation of the heart in a 3-year-old girl. Malrotation of the heart is induced by the decreased right lung volume, which was the result of right lung hypoplasia and herniation of the left thoracic cavity. We corrected the right lung volume and location of the heart to treat tracheobronchial stenosis.
