Description

Tracheal stenosis is a medical condition characterized by the narrowing of the trachea, which can lead to breathing difficulties. This condition may result from various factors, including injury, inflammation, or congenital anomalies.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'estenosis traqueal' is the formal term used in clinical settings. Variants such as 'estrechez de la tráquea' may be heard colloquially but should be avoided in professional contexts. It is crucial to maintain a formal register when discussing this condition.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with tracheal stenosis after experiencing persistent respiratory issues.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con estenosis traqueal después de experimentar problemas respiratorios persistentes.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'estenosis traqueal' with 'estenosis esofágica'; mixing up 'tráquea' with 'bronquios'; using colloquial terms instead of the formal medical terminology.
