Subglotic stenosis, Tracheal stenosis, Postintubation airway complications, Post tracheostomy complications, Difficult airwayAbstract
Subglottic stenosis is an important complication following invasive airway manipulation for long periods of time. Only a small percentage of these cases develop clinical repercussions in patient's daily life, however, they are an important cause of difficult airway. This clinical case presents a 43-year-old male patient with a past hospitalization in an Intensive Care Unit in Senegal for an indefinite time. We describe the decisions made upon an unanticipated difficult airway, and the postoperative management of this case of subglottic stenosis
