A clinical threat in patients with granulomatosis polyangiitis in remission: Subglottic stenosis

Introduction Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) (Wegener’s granulomatosis) is a systemic necrotizing disease that involves the main upper and lower respiratory tracts and results in pauci-immune glomerulonephritis in the kidneys and areas supplied by smalland medium-sized arteries (1). If the disease is localized only to the upper respiratory tract or lungs, it is defined as a limited form and constitutes one-fourth of cases. Some of these cases may then progress to the systemic form (2).
