Tracheal collapsibility in adults is dynamic over time
2019, Respiratory MedicineCough syncope
2014, Respiratory MedicineCitation Excerpt :Reference lists of articles were reviewed for additional relevant publications not captured by the initial database search. A subsequent search using the terms “tussive” and “syncope” yielded an additional four articles not initially identified, thus resulting in a total of 90 publications comprising the basis for this review [1–90]. Of the 90 articles comprising our database, 74 reported a total of 430 adult cases of cough syncope.
What's in a name? Expiratory tracheal narrowing in adults explained
2013, Clinical RadiologyCitation Excerpt :In EDAC, the cartilage is intact and retains its shape on expiration, whereas in crescentic TBM the cartilage allows transverse dimension expansion; and (3) circumferential narrowing, in which the airway concentrically narrows on expiration, is less common than the other types of TBM in our experience, and is usually accompanied by severe inflammation such as relapsing polychondritis27 (Fig 5). It has been proposed that circumferential TBM may be a combination of sabre and crescentic TBM.28 Supplementary video related to this article can be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.crad.2013.06.017.
Tracheomalacia/Tracheobronchomalacia and Hyperdynamic Airway Collapse
2013, Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :If patients fail to respond to the usual and customary treatment of a suspected respiratory condition, consideration should be given to evaluation for TBM and HDAC. Signs and symptoms may include wheezing/stridor, barking cough, episodic choking, syncope associated with forced exhalation/cough, and recurrent pulmonary infections (bronchitis and pneumonias caused by impaired mucociliary clearance).13–15 Aside from exercise, other maneuvers that may elicit signs and symptoms are Valsalva maneuvers, positional changes (particularly recumbency), and forced exhalation/cough.
Tracheomalacia and tracheobronchomalacia in children and adults: An in-depth review
2005, ChestCitation Excerpt :Classification by macroscopic clinical findings is sometimes employed, with lateral wall narrowing being called the “saber-sheath type” or “fissure shape,” and the anterioposterior wall narrowing being referred to as the “crescent type” or “scabbard shape.”17–163 Some clinicians have included a third macroscopic designation for the “circumferential” narrowing19 or have labeled this appearance as a combination of the crescent and saber-sheath types.164 Feist et al4 and others163 classified TM into congenital forms (as in the Mounier-Kuhn disease) and acquired forms, such as those resulting from tracheostomy, chest trauma, chronic irritation, inflammation, mechanical anatomic factors, or malignancy.
