Neonatal necrotizing tracheobronchitis: three case reports.
Necrotizing tracheobronchitis is a serious affection observed in ventilated newborns, frequently infants with instable hemodynamic state. It is characterized by acute episodes of airway obstruction. The treatment consists of the desobstruction by rigid bronchoscopy. The vascular theory seems to be of utmost importance in the physiopathology. Three cases are reported.
