A Tracheomalacia complicates 11-33% of cases of Oesophageal Atresia with distal Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula. The lesion generally involves only the thoracic segment of the trachea, and it has close anatomical relationships with the mediastinal structures, specially with the aortic arch. We therefore tried to define the most important morphotypes of tracheobronchial malacia by using dynamic fiberoptic bronchoscopy (DFB) and spiral multilayer computed tomography (CT).
