Diagnosis and Surgical Management of a Patient with Calcified Subglottic Stenosis

Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is a narrowing of the airway distal to the vocal cords. It is a common post-intubation complication treated by otolaryngologists. The narrowing is typically due to a band of fibrotic scar tissue, with few cases reporting calcification of this band in the post-cricoid region. To date, there have been fewer than 5 reports of calcified SGS, each treated with a unique surgical approach. In this case report, we describe our technique for the removal of a calcified subglottic stenotic band at the level of the cricoid in a 46 year-old female. We also review the current literature to compare outcomes and complications of the various surgical techniques implemented for this unique pathology. The technique utilized in this report adds to the previous literature and offers a viable treatment alternative for calcified SGS.
