Tracheal stenosis means the windpipe has become narrowed.
Symptoms may include noisy breathing, shortness of breath, wheezing that does not improve as expected, cough, or difficulty breathing during activity.
Imaging helps show how long the narrowed segment is, how tight it has become, and helps doctors plan airway treatment.
CT helps define the length and severity of narrowing and supports procedural or surgical planning.
Treatment may include airway procedures, dilation, stenting, surgery, and specialist respiratory or ENT care.
This entry explains the condition. The next step is having a radiologist interpret your specific scan, not a general definition.
