A member asked:
What is a circumferential tracheal ring?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare: The trachea or windpipe is made up of incomplete cartilaginous rings where the front is c shaped cartilage with a membranous posterior in front of the esophagus. Rarely congenital complete circumferential tracheal rings may be cartilaginous all around resulting in possible tracheal stenosis (narrowing) which can lead to breathing difficulty.
