Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Laryngotracheal stenosis is a rare but serious life-threatening condition. With the recent advances in critical and terminal care the incidence of acquired laryngotracheal stenosis is on theraise. Previously,Trauma used to be the most common cause of laryngotracheal stenosis but now iatrogenic is almost competing with that. Early diagnosis of laryngotracheal stenosis and proper decision making regarding the management is vital in treating the patients with laryngotracheal stenosis. The site of the lesion, type and extent of the stenosis influence the decision regarding the treatment options. In this article, we want to highlight the importance of decision making in treatment of laryngotracheal stenosis. A diagnosed case of subglottic stenosis previously treated with a T Tube, presenting with persistent disease was managed by laryngotracheal reconstruction with laryngo-fissure and stenting leading to successful clinical outcome.
