Bettolepsy in a patient with cicatricial tracheal stenosis (clinical case)

The clinical picture and diagnostic features of bettolepsy are described. The development of this condition in middle-aged men with excess body weight and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is typical. A special feature of the clinical case under consideration was the combination of cough syncope with cicatricial-granulation stenosis of the upper third of the trachea, which complicated the diagnostic search.
