A condition in which the cartilaginous tissue in trachea is soft, such that the trachea partly collapses during respiration.
Examples
“Tracheomalacia usually presents in the 1st year of life: 60% by the age of 3 months.”
“Currently the challenge remains that the diagnosis of tracheomalacia is largely subjective, determined by the bronchoscopist because there is no standard definition at this time.”
“Many children with tracheomalacia will not require intervention and will outgrow the symptoms by 1-2 years of age as the tracheal cartilage becomes more rigid [29, 34, 92].”
