Tracheal Stenosis: A Case Report

Jefri Adi Kam Sitepu¹, Marjono Dwi Wibowo²

Abstract

Although tracheal stenosis is a rare consequence, it is possible in individuals undergoing extended intubation and tracheostomy. Although otorhinolaryngologists and interventional pulmonologists are often responsible for treatment, since symptoms may not manifest for weeks or months after extubation, primary care doctors are frequently the first to meet this problem. Tracheal stenosis may be mistaken for asthma in its clinical presentation, which includes dyspnea and stridor. The case described is that of a 16-year-old man with tracheal stenosis after intubation who had a series of surgical treatments to improve his airway. We analyzed common presenting symptoms, treatment choices, and preventative efforts for comparable individuals.
