Tracheal Malacia is a condition in which the trachea does not stay stiff and open like a normal child. Instead, the airway is floppy and closes down on itself. In mild cases it can cause wheezing sounds and vigilant supervision and proactive treatment of respiratory infections is important. In more serious cases children can be on tracheotomy tubes for years (usually average time is 4 years). Most children who survive infancy will grow out of the condition by 3-5 years of age.

The tube is known as the trachea, or windpipe. It serves as a passageway for air to travel in and out of the lungs.
