Subglottic stenosis is a medical condition that occurs when the airway below the vocal cords narrows, making it difficult to breathe. Some common synonyms for this condition include laryngotracheal stenosis, tracheal stenosis, laryngeal stenosis, subglottic obstruction, and narrowing of the airway. Other related terms include tracheal or laryngeal stenosis of varying severity, inflammation of the airway, and inflammation of the trachea. Treatment for subglottic stenosis often involves surgery, airway dilation, or other interventions to help the patient breathe more easily. Accurate diagnosis and treatment are important to ensure proper management of this condition and prevent complications.
