“…The tracheal bronchus (TB) is a rare congenital abnormality seen in 0.1-2% of bronchoscopic examinations [4,5] and its association with tracheostenosis is rare [1,6,7]. VACTERL association is a clinically recognized nonrandom occurrence of three or more of the following six anomalies: V (vertebral defects), A (anal atresia), C (cardiac abnormalities), TE (tracheo-oesophageal fistula and/or oesophageal atresia), R (renal agenesis and dysplasia), L (limb defects, mainly radial-type reduction or polydactyly).…”

“…In some mildly symptomatic patients, a period of observation helps in determining whether a tracheoplasty will ultimately be required. While there are numerous anecdotal reports of patients with congenital tracheal stenosis being managed nonoperatively, [2][3][4][5][6] authors have not specifically addressed this approach. Our objective was to illustrate that for a small number of patients with congenital tracheal stenosis, nonoperative management is a viable strategy.…”

Background: Children with complete tracheal rings are often challenging to manage. Most children will present early with a severely compromised airway and will require tracheal reconstruction. Objective: To show that a small number of minimally symptomatic patients with complete tracheal rings experience airway growth over time and do not require tracheoplasty. Design: A retrospective medical chart review over a 10year period. Setting: A tertiary care pediatric hospital. Patients: Children (N = 10) with a diagnosis of complete tracheal rings, confirmed on bronchoscopy, who were observed for a minimum of 1 year prior to determining the need for tracheoplasty.

“…Ring-sling complex can be classified into a lethal form and a form in which there is enough pars membranacea left to allow sufficient tracheal growth. The two forms can be distinguished only by their clinical course, i.e., either severe respiratory symptoms with progression or mild symptoms without progression 8 ) .…”

Pulmonary sling is a rare congenital condition in which the left pulmonary artery arises from the right pulmonary artery forming a sling around the trachea causing tracheal compression. Many cases are associated with cardiovascular and tracheo-bronchial anomalies. When combined with complete tracheal ring, it is called “ring-sling complex”. The average onset of symptoms is 2 months and about half have symptoms from birth. The anomaly, if not corrected, can be fatal within the first year of life. In an adult, it is most often asymptomatic and usually found incidentally. We report an adult case who was diagnosed as pulmonary sling with complete tracheal ring by CT and bronchoscopy along with a literature review.
