Subglottic Stenosis After Endonasal Resection of Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma

Subglottic stenosis (SGS), the narrowing of upper trachea, can be an acquired condition in pediatric patients. Presenting with varying degrees dyspnea and stridor, SGS is most commonly due to intubation. Airway often not considered a surgical complication, no literature on after endoscopic sinus surgery exists. We present unique case 13-year-old male juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA), who developed setting progressive six weeks endonasal resection his mass. He required urgent intubation prior preoperative embolization surgery, which prolonged total period. After patient was found have SGS, he eventually serial dilation treat stenosis. The presentation operative course this patient, along images pathologic findings, are discussed. Based extensive review PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, there been cases discussing development post-intubation or association JNA. Acquired as life-threatening airway obstruction With rise skull base prevalence JNA, study sheds light detection management post-operatively.
