Abstrakt: | Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (SMD) is a rare genetic disorder affecting skeletal growth and development presenting anesthesiologists with many perioperative challenges. We present a case of a patient found to have multilevel tracheal stenosis due to twisting and folding of his trachea. This was discovered on imaging during a research review of SMD cases at our institution. Structural and functional abnormalities of the trachea have not been reported in SMD. This is the first description of a patient with SMD with severe multilevel tracheal disease requiring tracheal reconstructive surgery.
