Down syndrome and complete tracheal rings.
Tracheal stenosis caused by complete tracheal rings has previously not been associated with Down syndrome. We identified 7 children with Down syndrome and complete tracheal rings. We found the clinical presentation and airway anatomy to be variable, advocating a heightened level of suspicion when evaluating a child with Down syndrome.
