👉 The term "peritracheal" is not commonly used in medical terminology, but it can be applied to a specific area of a patient's throat or larynx. In general, this refers to the part of the vocal cords where the voice comes out, which is also known as the trachea. The peritracheal region can be impacted by various conditions such as polyps, tumors, or infections, and may require medical treatment if it becomes inflamed or obstructed.
