Surgical treatment of acquired tracheocele

Ear Nose Throat J. 2006 Jun;85(6):386-7.

Abstract

Acquired tracheoceles are rare clinical entities that can cause a variety of chronic and recurrent aerodigestive tract symptoms. The management of acquired tracheoceles is primarily conservative, but surgical intervention may be indicated for patients with refractory symptoms. We present a case of acquired tracheocele and describe a method of successful surgical management.
