CTICasesTracheal stenosis from prior intubation
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.
