Abstract
THE INCIDENCE of subglottic stenosis (SGS) in neonates requiring endotracheal intubation ranges from 1% to 8%.1,2 The cause of acquired SGS is not well understood.3 Several synergistic factors likely play a role in the development of the disorder. These factors include but are not limited to the size of the endotracheal tube, movement of the endotracheal tube, duration of intubation, traumatic intubation, presence of an infection while intubated, and possibly gastroesophageal reflux (GER) with or without intubation.
