Article information

This case report involves a 69-year-old woman who presented idiopathic laryngotracheal stenosis with total obstruction of the airway. Seven surgical procedures involving open field and endoscopy techniques had to be performed due to repeated re-obstructions. The novelty in this case is that success was finally obtained with the use of mitomycin C. The drug action is well known, but is interesting to report a case in which success was only obtained when we used mitomycin C.

Keywords:

Reobstruction

Exponemos el caso de una paciente de 69 años en la que se desarrolló una estenosis laringotraqueal idiopática con obstrucción completa. Se tuvo que intervenir a la paciente 7 veces, con distintas técnicas endoscópicas o abiertas, por reobstrucciones postoperatorias. Lo novedoso del caso es que el éxito final se obtuvo tras la aplicación de mitomicina C. Es conocida la acción de este fármaco, pero tiene interés mostrar un caso complejo en el que sólo se obtiene éxito cuando se aplica mitomicina C.
