Dynamic Airway Collapse – A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The prevalence of obstructive airway diseases in our country is very high. Tracheobronchomalacia and dynamic airway collapse without an antecedent cause in adult population are rare clinical entities. We report one such case which presented as classical obstructive airway disease demonstrating no response to standard therapy thus warranting further investigations.
