Intrinsic airway obstruction refers to a blockage of the airways caused by internal factors, such as inflammation, swelling, or the presence of foreign bodies. Conditions like Asthma, bronchitis, or tumors can lead to narrowing or obstruction of the air passages, making it difficult for air to flow in and out of the lungs. This type of obstruction differs from extrinsic obstruction, which is caused by external factors like pressure from surrounding tissues or external objects. Effective management often involves addressing the underlying cause to restore normal airflow.
