Dyspnea—Think outside of the box, a case of subglottic stenosis

Abstract

Abstract Dyspnea is a common presentation in upper and lower airway obstructive causes. However, biphasic stridor and hoarseness should prompt evaluation of the upper airway. Nasendoscopy carried out by the otolaryngology team is a quick and an effective way of evaluating the upper airway.
