Osteochondroplastic tracheopathy - pathomorphism of the extended laryngotracheal stenosis
The development of an osteochondroplastic transformation of the wall of the larynx and trachea is considered a united pathomorphologic process connected with chronic inflammation. The analysis of literary and clinical data allows assuming the correlation of a planocellular hyperplasia of the upper airway epithelium with destructive laryngeal and tracheal chondroperichondritis, osteochondroplastic changes on the background of an extended laryngotracheal stenosis. An example of a successful step-by-step surgical correction of the laryngotracheal stenosis in a patient with osteochondroplastic tracheopathy is given in the article.
