Description
Naveed Siddiqui and five co-authors report a boy whose narrowed windpipe was mistaken for severe asthma, in a case report from 2024. Windpipe narrowing after a breathing tube is a known complication, but it appears late and mimics asthma's wheeze and breathlessness. The confusion can delay the right fix.
A 10-year-old boy arrived with cough, wheeze, and labored breathing and did not respond to asthma treatment. Placing a breathing tube proved difficult, forcing an emergency surgical airway. Closer examination then found advanced grade three narrowing of the trachea. The authors urge doctors to consider this diagnosis in wheezing children with any past intubation.
