Abstract

Pediatric subglottic stenosis is one of the challenging problems to otolaryngologist. Etiology of the condition is congenital, acquired (endotracheal intubation, trauma, iatrogenic, chronic infections, gastroesophageal reflux, neoplasms, subglottic cysts, or others) or idiopathic. It is diagnosed by a history and physical examination, radiologic evaluation, and endoscopic examination. Other investigations such as pulmonary function tests also may be helpful. Two basic management modalities are available, either endoscopic (Laser, Dilatation, Stenting, Combination, or others) or open surgical (resection anastomosis, laryngotracheoplasty, cricoid split, or others).
