Subglottic stenosis is rarely idiopathic. In this case report, a 40-year-old female patient presented with subglottic stenosis with an unidentified etiology along with bilateral bronchial stenosis. Hoarseness arose in the last 4 years in this patient, who was undergoing treatment because of asthma for 13 years. Her physical examination revealed the presence of bilateral rhonci. Her tomography a...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Subglottic stenosis is one of the most common causes of upper airway obstruction. Almost 90% of them result from endotracheal intubation. Therapy depends on the degree of stenosis, among other factors. Therapeutic approaches range from watchful waiting, in mild stenosis, to complex surgery for severe cases. We report our experience on the surgical management of post-...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the diagnosis, pathology, and management of glottic, subglottic, and tracheal injuries secondary to endotracheal intubation in neonates. RECENT FINDINGS Published reports of intubation-related injuries include laryngeal stenosis, subglottic stenosis (SGS), tracheal rupture, subglottic cysts, and pharyngoesophageal perforation. Such injuries are multifactorial, w...

Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a disease caused by necrotising vasculitis of small and middle blood vessels of upper and lower respiratory tract and kidneys of unknown etiology. ENT symptoms develop in more than 90% of patients and tracheobronchial involvement occurs in about 20% of patients, most often as a subglottic stenosis. Subglottic stenosis occurs usually as a late complication of dis...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Subglottic involvement in squamous cell carcinoma is a determining factor for contraindicating conservative partial surgery. The subglottis is easily identified by axial computed tomography sections. The present study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of false-negative and false-positive results, and the overall accuracy of staging by computed tomography, in order to detect...

Objective. Subglottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCCa) is a rare malignancy representing \5% of all laryngeal cancers. Patients often present with late-stage disease, and survival outcomes are reportedly worse than those for SCCa in other regions of the larynx. Study Design. Analysis of a population-based tumor registry. Setting. Academic medical center. Subjects and Methods. The US National Canc...

large part of our therapeutic effort in the A , en, of respiratory failure is directed at enhancing the clearance of secretions from the lung. Such procedures as nasotracheal suctioning, tracheostomy, bronchoscopy, chest physiotherapy and postural drainage are used with varying degrees of success. Over the last few years, we have gained experience with the technique of volume controlled broncho...

OBJECTIVE Continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions (CASS) is believed to lower the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Animal studies to establish safety and efficacy of CASS have not been conducted. DESIGN Prospective randomized animal study. SETTING Animal-research facility at the U.S. National Institutes of Health. SUBJECTS Twenty-two sheep. INTERVENTIONS Sheep were r...

Objectives: To describe clinical characteristics and endoscopic image of patients with subglottic hemangioma. Subjects: 25 were diagnosed hemangioma at Vietnam National Children’s Hospital from 1st June, 2018 to 30th May, 2023. Methods: Retrospective prospective cross-sectional studies. Results: median age was 2.7 months, ranged 20 days female/male ratio: 2.1/1, mean stridor breathing onset 30....
