Schimke Immuno-osseous Dysplasia (SIOD) is a rare genetic disorder with multiple systemic manifestations. Pulmonary manifestations have been described but not well characterized. They are believed to be secondary to decreased elasticity, and include emphysema, pulmonary hypertension and bronchiectasis. We describe a 24-year-old female patient with SIOD with tracheobronchial anomalies not reported before, including tracheomalacia and a tracheal bronchus with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) related leiomyoma causing endobronchial obstruction. Such anomalies, in addition to the difficult upper airway associated with SIOD present specific challenges during management. This case reports documents tracheobronchial abnormalities that have not been described before in SIOD.

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation that is characterized by the absence of a connection between a portion of the lung tissue and the tracheobronchial tree, with blood supply from arteries throughout the body. Abnormal lung tissue cannot perform the normal gas exchange function. In the absence of timely diagnosis and early intervention, some cases may need labor induction, and some of the infants who survive may develop symptoms in childhood.

Background: Long segmental congenital tracheal stenosis and long segmental congenital tracheobronchial stenosis are rare congenital airway anomalies with variable arborizations. This study aimed to analyze presentations and outcomes of slide tracheoplasty in long segmental congenital tracheal and tracheobronchial stenosis with variable arborizations.
Methods: Retrospective analysis included all patients who underwent slide tracheoplasty between March 1995 and February 2023 for long segmental congenital tracheal and tracheobronchial stenosis at the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (London, United Kingdom).

Tracheal tumors in pediatric patients are rare, accounting for 2% of all airway abnormalities and 0.2% of all pediatric tumors. Diagnosis is often delayed due to the heterogeneity of presenting symptoms, such as stridor and wheezing, which are frequently misattributed to other conditions.

It is a pulmonary malformation and is defined as lung tissue without connection to the tracheobronchial tree with a systemic blood supply. We present a case of an eight-month-old infant with prenatally diagnosed bronchopulmonary sequestration.

Pulmonary sequestrations comprise a spectrum of congenital lung malformations, with abnormal lung tissue lacking connection with the tracheobronchial tree, supplied by an aberrant systemic artery. Until a few years ago, lobectomy was considered the standard treatment for intralobar pulmonary sequestration. However, minimally invasive sublobar resection gained a place as an interesting alternative therapeutic approach, guided by indocyanine green and computed tomography-based 3-dimensional anatomical models.
