Η συγγενής ή επίκτητη ΤΒΜ παριστά ανεπαρκή ή ατελή ανάπτυξη των χόνδρινων ημικρικίων των μεγάλων αεραγωγών. Στους ενήλικες, η ΤΒΜ, συχνότερα, είναι απότοκη επίκτητης διαταραχής, η οποία οδηγεί συμπίεση και τοπική ακταστροφή των τραχειακών ημικρικίων. (http://respi-gam.net/node/4838)
A healthy trachea is supported by a series of C-shaped rings made of cartilage that help your child’s airway to stay open during exhalation. The most common form of tracheomalacia occurs when the rings are wide and shaped more like a letter “U,” causing the membrane at the back of the airway to interfere with breathing and restrict airflow.
C-shaped cartilaginous rings reinforces the anterior and lateral sides of the trachea to protect and maintain the airway open.
Semi-circular tracheal cartilage is a critical determinant of maintaining architectural integrity of the respiratory airway.
The trachea is cartilaginous and made up of C-shaped semi-circular cartilages.
