Congenital tracheal stenosis is an intrinsic narrowing of the tracheal lumen due to complete cartilaginous rings. We evaluated the role of the chest radiograph, high kV films, CT and bronchoscopy in five patients with congenital tracheal stenosis. CT was superior to chest radiography and high kV films in the evaluation of the presence and extent of the stenosis. CT was superior to bronchoscopy in the evaluation of the distal extent of the stenosis in two patients. In addition, CT is useful in ruling out external compression of the trachea by a mass or associated vascular anomaly.
