Tracheal stenosis is a narrowing or constriction of the trachea.

Most cases of tracheal stenosis develop when a person’s trachea is injured after prolonged intubation — when a breathing tube is inserted into the trachea to help maintain breathing during a medical procedure — or from a tracheostomy (surgical opening of the trachea).
