Abstract
- Congenital bronchial stenosis is a rare condition with variable symptoms of presentation. Affected patients are usually asymptomatic, but because of the reduced airway, cough, cyanosis and respiratory distress may be presented. We report a 19 month-old girl with a recurrent history of severe wheezing, dyspnea and cyanosis accompanied by lower respiratory tract infections. Young children with severe respiratory symptoms and no immunological abnormalities must be suspected of airway structural abnormalities.
