Unsuspected subglottic stenosis in a two-year-old.
Unsuspected subglottic stenosis was encountered in the operating room in a 23-month-old girl who had been diagnosed having Vater syndrome without the component of tracheooesophageal fistula. Her scheduled elective thumb reconstruction was postponed until tracheal reconstruction was performed. A rational approach to handle this situation is described.
