Скачать или смотреть Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis Evaluation & Management w/ Dr. Stephen Schoeff | ENT Podcast Ep. 161

In this episode, hosts Dr. Gopi Shah and Dr. Ashley Agan talk to Dr. Stephen Schoeff, laryngologist at Kaiser Permanente (Tacoma, WA) about subglottic stenosis in adults.

Dr. Schoeff introduces subglottic stenosis (SS) as a rare condition affecting adult women of all ages. Patients complain of progressive dyspnea, declining exercise tolerance, and mucus sensation. Sometimes confused for asthma, globus sensation, LPR, or paradoxical vocal fold motion, SS is diagnosed when airway scarring and narrowing is visible on laryngoscopy. After describing workup, Dr. Schoeff reviews etiologies of SS, including iatrogenic, idiopathic, and autoimmune. Treatment options for SS include cricotracheal resection, endoscopic dilation, and airway steroid injections. Dr. Schoeff concludes the episode by sharing his success using periodic airway steroid injections for treatment of SS.
