Abstract
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease often visit the emergency department due to exacerbation of their disease condition or the development of pneumonia. Tracheal stenosis is a rare but fatal condition if not diagnosed and treated promptly. We report the successful diagnosis and management of tracheal stenosis in a patient with a history of intubation three months prior to her index presentation.
