[Acquired tracheomalacia in adults: value of spontaneous ventilation with positive end expiratory pressure].
The authors report a case of acquired tracheomalacia occurring in an adult with a definitive tracheostomy. They make a review of the clinical, radiological and bronchological features of tracheomalacia. They insist on the pathophysiology and report the first case successfully treated with spontaneous ventilation and end expiratory positive pressure.
