| Abstract | A 26-year-old woman presenting for an elective day case procedure under general anaesthesia had undiagnosed subglottic stenosis leading to a life threatening airway emergency requiring emergency front-of-neck airway. We outline the case and discuss key anaesthetic considerations in subglottic stenosis, including concerning features of a medical/anaesthetic history and the potential for rapid deterioration of a stenotic airway following manipulation. We also consider the effect of anaesthesia on the calibre of subglottic stenosis and the effects of positive pressure ventilation. Subglottic stenosis is a rare condition with congenital, acquired and idiopathic origins; however, iatrogenic trauma is the most common cause. We are aware of a small number of published case reports of previously undiagnosed subglottic stenosis in adults discovered after induction of anaesthesia; situational deterioration to 'cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate' scenarios appear even rarer. |
