AB Tracheal  obstruction  may  be  intrathoracic  (below  the  suprasternal  notch)  or  extrathoracic.  Fixed  tracheal  obstruction  may  be  caused  by  acquired  or  congenital  tracheal  stenosis,  primary  or  secondary  tracheal  neoplasms,  extrinsic  compression  (tumors  of  the  lung,  thymus,  or  thyroid;  lymphadenopathy;  congenital  vascular  rings;  aneurysms;  etc),  foreign  body  aspiration,  tracheal  granulomas  and  papillomas,  and  tracheal  trauma.  Variable  or  dynamic  tracheal  obstruction  may  be  caused  by  tracheomalacia,  foreign  body  aspiration,  and  retained  secretions.
