Intrathoracic airway obstruction refers to a blockage within the airways located inside the thoracic cavity, which can impede airflow to and from the lungs. This condition can be caused by various factors, including tumors, foreign bodies, or inflammation of airway structures. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, wheezing, and decreased oxygen levels. Prompt medical evaluation and intervention are critical to relieve the obstruction and restore normal respiratory function.
