Abstract
AbstractWe report a case of combined severe subglottic and lower tracheobronchial stenoses after an inhalation burn injury. The patient was successfully treated by the insertion of a bifurcated silicone rubber stent. The proximal limb of the silicone tube was used to stent the subglottic stenosis after it had been resected, a treatment option not previously reported. It is speculated that the diffuse airway damage resulted from a combination of thermal injury, mechanical trauma and infection. The relatively late symptomatic presentation of the lower tracheal stricture is stressed and the treatment options discussed.
