- Abstract
Tracheal stenosis is a rare complication of endotracheal intubation with serious sequelae. Its early manifestations can be mistakenly diagnosed as other pathology such as asthma or pneumonia. We report a case of a young lady with a history of endotracheal intubation, presenting with a history of noisy breathing for two months. Diagnosis of tracheal stenosis was made using flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopy and neck radiograph. She was successfully treated by serial direct laryngoscopy and dilatation.
