Chondrodysplasia Punctata with Severe Airway Stenosis

Bobbity Deepthi et al. Indian J Crit Care Med. 2018 Jul.

Abstract

Chondrodysplasia punctata (CDP) is a group of skeletal dysplasias characterized primarily by punctate calcifications in cartilage. It is a rare disease with an incidence of 1:100,000 live births. Extensive airway involvement with calcification of tracheal, bronchial, and thyroid cartilage in CDP is an infrequent finding. We aim to report a case of CDP with characteristic radiological features and severe airway involvement.

Keywords: Airway stenosis; Conradi disease; chondrodysplasia punctata; tracheal calcifications.
