Congenital tracheal web, a rare condition, is frequently misdiagnosed as asthma. Early clinical suspicion and diagnostic imaging like bronchoscopy with CT are crucial for accurate identification.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Diagnostics
  • Pulmonology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Congenital tracheal web is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • It is often misdiagnosed as refractory asthma, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
  • Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate management.

Observation:

  • Clinical presentation can mimic asthma, including persistent wheezing and respiratory distress.
  • Patient history, physical examination, and pulmonary function tests are key initial steps.
  • Diagnostic challenges arise due to the rarity and nonspecific symptoms.

Findings:

  • Bronchoscopy is a highly sensitive diagnostic tool for tracheal webs.
  • CT imaging with multiplanar reconstruction complements bronchoscopy, providing detailed anatomical information.

  • Combined imaging modalities offer a definitive diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • Improved diagnostic strategies can reduce misdiagnosis rates for congenital tracheal web.
    • Timely diagnosis facilitates appropriate surgical or endoscopic intervention.
    • Early detection can prevent long-term respiratory complications in affected individuals.
