A rare cause of stridor in children: Acquired subglottic stenosis

Conclusion: Unlike congenital SGS, acquired SGS typically does not improve spontaneously over time and requires intervention. In children with stridor bronchopulmonary dysplasia and congenital heart disease are underlying causes of SGS due to history of intubation. While determining cause of stridor, pediatricians should get information about history of intubation, prematurity and other congenital anomalies and hospitalization due to respiratory problems.
