  • Title: Corkscrew trachea: a novel type of congenital tracheal stenosis.
    Author: Bryant R, Morales DL.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2009 Jun; 87(6):1923-5. PubMed ID: 19463623.
    Abstract:
    The classic definition of congenital tracheal stenosis includes the presence of complete tracheal rings with absence of the membranous portion of the trachea. The morphologic type, based on Cantrell's classification, dictates the surgical management. In this report, we describe the presentation and surgical management of a novel type of distal congenital tracheal stenosis referred to as "corkscrew" trachea.
