[...]. Tracheal stenosis from prior intubation. CTICases. Published December 7, 2018. https://cticases.com/c/dg6qa
Imaging findings
Chest CT and bronchoscopy demonstrate focal, smooth narrowing and thickening of the anterior tracheal wall located above the level of the aortic arch, without extratracheal extension, in a patient with prior intubation.
Key takeaways
Post-intubation tracheal stenosis typically occurs at the cuff site or stoma site. While most commonly subglottic, it can occur lower in the trachea, presenting as a focal fibrotic scar that can be treated with laser ablation.
