Abstract
Although prolonged periods of intubation, chronic respiratory infection and inflammation have been reported to cause tracheomalacia. it is of relatively low incidence in adults, The clinical suspicion should be high when there has been a history of prolonged intubation with high cuff pressure and air leakage. When this clinical situation is encountered, rather than increasing the cuff pressure, the diagnosis of tracheomalacia should be considered.
