  • Title: Tracheal stenosis mimicking severe acute asthma.
    Author: Zubairi AB, Dildar B, Husain SJ, Khan MF.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2010 Oct 12; 2010():. PubMed ID: 22789696.
    Abstract:
    Post-intubation tracheal stenosis is a rare but serious clinical entity that rarely develops when intubation is less than a week. These patients may remain asymptomatic for a variable period and are often misdiagnosed as asthmatic. The authors report a case of a middle-aged lady who was initially misdiagnosed as having acute asthma after brief tracheal intubation.
