“…In the adult age group, LTS without evident etiology or LTS presenting with atypical endoscopic features should always be biopsied to identify possible rare conditions such as Wegener's granulomatosis [35][36][37], relapsing polychondritis [38,39], other autoimmune disorders [40], tuberculosis [41][42][43], sarcoidosis [44,45] or idiopathic SGS [46][47][48] and amyloidosis [49], to name just a few among the most frequently described in the literature.…”

Adult and pediatric laryngotracheal stenoses (LTS) comprise a wide array of various conditions that require precise preoperative assessment and classification to improve comparison of different therapeutic modalities in a matched series of patients. This consensus paper of the European Laryngological Society proposes a five-step endoscopic airway assessment and a standardized reporting system to better differentiate fresh, incipient from mature, cicatricial LTSs, simple one-level from complex multilevel LTSs and finally ''healthy'' from ''severely morbid'' patients. The proposed scoring system, which integrates all of these parameters, may be used to help define different groups of LTS patients, choose the best treatment modality for each individual patient and assess distinct post-treatment outcomes accordingly.

“…However, with the advent of long‐term treatment with steroids and cyclophosphamide, individuals affected survive longer, and a broader spectrum of the disease is currently being displayed. 3 Subglottic stenosis as a result of Wegener's granulomatosis may occur following other manifestations of the disease or may present as the sole manifestation of the disease (“limited” Wegener's granulomatosis). 1 The incidence of subglottic stenosis in Wegener's granulomatosis ranges from 8.5% to 23% in the literature.…”
