    Author: Alraiyes AH, Machuzak MS, Gildea TR.

    Abstract:
    Respiratory tract infection with human papillomavirus has been associated with major airway complications, including tracheal stenosis. We report a case of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis infection complicated with iatrogenic airway fire injury causing airway stenosis. This was treated with reconstruction and a silicone Y stent placement. Three years after the stent placement, the patient presented with wheezing and shortness of breath. Bronchoscopy revealed tracheal narrowing proximal to the tracheal limb of the Y stent. The stenosis was treated with a stent intussusception technique with satisfactory results.
