β¦ Synopsis
Acquired airway stenosis, chiefly a pediatric problem, can be a vexing area of study in animals. The mechanism leading to this problem in children is usually chronic ventilator dependence, especially that of neonates.1 The endotracheal tube causes repeated trauma or pressure which can lead to submucosal hemorrhage, necrosis, scar formation, proliferation, fibrosis and ultimately, airway narrowing.
