Abstract:
Objective To investigate the role and significance of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in diagnosis of congenital airway dysplasia.Methods The clinical data of 606 children with bronchoscopy who were admitted to Department of Respiratory Medicine,Nanjing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from Mar.2008 to Mar.2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among the 606 children,airway dysplasia were found in 120 cases,duded tracheobronchomalacia in 47 cases,racheobronchial stenosis in 31 cases,tracheal bronchus in 27 cases,laryngomalacia in 9 cases,abnormalities or variations at the bronchi opening in 16 cases,airway diverticulum in 8 cases,tracheal esophageal fistula in 5 cases,and 23 children in the 120 cases had 2 or more deformity.Conclusions The fiberoptic bronchoscopy plays a decisive role in diagnosis of congenital airway dysplasia.Fiberoptic bronchoscopy should be performed in suspicious children as soon as possible to determine the cause.
