AB  - Tracheomalacia (TM) is characterized by tracheal collapse due to an intrinsic 
      anomaly resulting in a lack of rigidity of the cartilaginous rings and/or the 
      posterior membrane during expiration, coughing or crying. It may also be 
      secondary to external compression or acquired during endobronchial diseases. TM 
      is commonly associated with other syndromes or airway abnormalities. 
      Tracheomalacia can be localized or diffused and if the main bronchi are involved, 
      the term of tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is used. The most common symptoms include 
      expiratory stridor, barking cough and recurrent respiratory tract infections. If 
      tracheal weakness is severe, Acute Life Threating Events (ALTE) or Brief Resolved 
      Unexplained Event (BRUE) can occur. While mild forms usually do not require any 
      treatment, severe TBM may require medical and/or surgical management. Amongst 
      several possible treatments, including tracheostomy, noninvasive ventilation and 
      airway stenting, the pexy surgical approach (posterior, anterior tracheopexy or 
      aortopexy) is currently the favoured option.
