Unreferenced date January 2007 Image Subglottic stenosis.jpg right thumb Neck AP x ray of patient with post endotracheal intubation intubation subglottic stenosis, as shown by the narrowing in the Vertebrate trachea tracheal lumen marked by the arrow. Subglottic stenosis is a congenital or acquired narrowing of the subglottic airway . Although it is relatively rare, it is the third most common congenital airway problem after laryngomalacia and vocal cord paralysis . Subglottic stenosis can present as a life threatening airway emergency. It is imperative that the Otolaryngologist be an expert at dealing with the diagnosis and management of this disorder. Subglottic stenosis can affect both children and adults. Subglottic stenosis can be of two forms, namely Congenital subglottic stenosis and Acquired Subglottic stenosis. As the name suggests, Congenital subglottic stenosis is a birth defect. That is a child is born with it. Acquired Subglottic Stenosis generally follows as an after effect of airway intubation. Subglottic stenosis are graded from one to four based on the severity of the block. Grade 1 50 obstruction, Grade 2 51 70 obstruction, Grade 3 71 99 obstruction, Grade 4 no detectable lumen.

Pulmonic stenosis , also known as Pulmonary stenosis , is a dynamic or fixed obstruction to flow from the right ventricle of the heart to the pulmonary artery . It is usually first diagnosed in childhood. Pulmonic stenosis is usually due to isolated valvular obstruction Pulmonary valve stenosis , but may be due to subvalvular or supravalvular Stenosis of pulmonary artery obstruction. It may occur in association with more complicated congenital heart disorder s. Pathophysiology When pulmonary stenosis PS is present, resistance to blood flow causes right ventricular hypertrophy. If right ventricular failure develops, right atrial pressure will increase, and this may result in reopening of the foramen ovale , shunting of unoxygenated blood into the left atrium, and systemic cyanosis . If PS is not severe, congestive heart failure occurs, and systemic venous engorgement will be noted. An associated defect such as a patent ductus arteriosus partially compensates for the obstruction by shunting blood from the aorta to the pulmonary artery and into the lungs.
