Subglottic stenosis in Wegener's granulomatosis.

A patient with treated Wegener's granulomatosis had an inflammatory subglottic laryngotracheitis during remission from systemic features of the disease. The lesion enlarged insidiously until a critical point of stenosis occurred in the subglottic region, leading to stridor. Subglottic stenosis, another of the protean findings in Wegener's granulomatosis, may be seen more frequently in the future as patients survive longer in immunosuppressant-induced remissions.
