Abstract :

The causes of adult tracheal stenosis are trauma, chronic inflammatory diseases, benign and malignant neoplasm and collagen vascular diseases. We report here a case report of difficult intubation in adult tracheal stenosis. A 32 year female was admitted to CTVS department of SMS Medical collage with h/o homicidal cut throat injury requiring emergency surgery with tracheostomy 6 months back. She was presented with history of progressive eathlessness for four weeks. She was posted for elective tracheoplasty. Patient was operated by sternotomy and tracheoplasty was done after relieving stenosis by using pedicle pericardial flap. Patient was initially intubated with 5.5 mm ID cuffed tube. After releasing of stenosis 5.5 mm ID tube was replaced with 7.5 mm ID cuffed tube. Surgery was uneventful. Close monitoring was done. At the end of surgery patient was extubated with complete recovery and finally discharged on 8th post operative day.
