Tzouvelekis A et al. - Tracheal stenosis following intubation still remains an important cause for tracheal obstruction, which may be life threatening and often misdiagnosed. Here the authors describe an otherwise healthy patient who was mechanically ventilated due to a labor accident and developed acute pulmonary embolism that was further complicated with post-intubation tracheal stenosis. The patient was treated with anticoagulant therapy and oral corticosteroids and was further referred to a specialist centre for consideration for non-surgical endoscopic treatment.
