Abstract
We report an infant with severe long-segment tracheal stenosis in whom the posterior trachea was formed by complete cartilage rings and the anterior trachea was almost totally formed by a solid cartilage plate. The child was successfully treated initially by complete resection of the trachea and primary end-to-end repair and subsequently with trach eal homograft transplantation for secondary stenosis.
