Tracheal stenosis is a rare complication of tracheal intubation, which usually becomes symptomatic after some time after detubation, with typical superior airway obstruction signs and symptoms. This is a case of a 62-yearold female with post intubation tracheal stenosis, with interesting problems of differential diagnosis until the final diagnostic was found. Clinical and imagistic investigations led us to our final diagnosis of iatrogenic post intubation tracheal stenosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
