Abstract
5-month child presenting with high grade fever with cough and noisy breathing to the EMD. On evaluation the baby appears to be in stridor and respiratory distress. Urgent chest X-ray AP View (Fig.1) showed haziiness in the right mid and lower Bone. Airway was secured followed By CECT thorax suggestive of long segment tracheomalacia with aberrant innominate artery Compression. Confirmation was done with a flexible bronchoscope followed by a suctioning To maintain luminal patency. In this article, we re port our experience of Tracheomalacia with aspiration pneumonia in paediatric age group .
