➡️ Trachea
The trachea is a cylindrical tube made of rings of cartilage, which are connected by muscles and ligaments. These cartilage rings maintain the trachea's shape, preventing it from collapsing and ensuring an unobstructed passage for air. The trachea begins just under the larynx and extends down behind the sternum, where it then divides into two smaller tubes called the bronchi, each leading to a lung.

🟦 Conditions of the Trachea

➡️ Tracheitis
Tracheitis is an inflammation of the trachea, often characterized by a bacterial infection following an initial viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. This condition can cause severe breathing difficulties and a barking cough, resembling symptoms of croup. The most common cause of bacterial tracheitis is Staphylococcus aureus.

➡️ Tracheal Stenosis
Tracheal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the trachea, which restricts airflow and makes breathing difficult. This condition can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life. Acquired tracheal stenosis is often a result of prolonged intubation or tracheostomy.

➡️ Tracheomalacia
Tracheomalacia is a condition characterized by the weakening and floppiness of the tracheal walls. This weakness causes the trachea to collapse, particularly when breathing out, leading to airway obstruction and difficulty in clearing secretions.

➡️ Tracheoesophageal Fistula
A tracheoesophageal fistula is an abnormal connection (fistula) between the trachea and the esophagus. This condition is most commonly congenital, often presenting alongside esophageal atresia, where the esophagus does not form properly.

➡️ Tracheal Tumors
Tumors in the trachea are relatively rare and can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors, such as papillomas or chondromas, typically grow slowly and might not cause symptoms until they are large enough to obstruct the airway.

➡️ Foreign Bodies in the Trachea
The inhalation of foreign objects into the trachea is a significant and potentially life-threatening event, particularly common in young children. Objects like small toys, food particles, or other small items can become lodged in the trachea, causing partial or complete airway obstruction.

➡️ Tracheal Trauma
Tracheal trauma can result from either blunt or penetrating injuries to the neck and chest. This can occur due to accidents, falls, sports injuries, or acts of violence. The trachea's susceptibility to injury stems from its location and relatively exposed position in the neck.

➡️ Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
GERD is a condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, the tube connecting the mouth and stomach. This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of the esophagus and, in some cases, affect the trachea.
