ABSTRACT
Extended endotracheal intubation in infancy causes various complications. Upper airway disruption is very rare but reversible cause of respiratory insufficiency. Tracheostomy may not be avoidable in severe upper respiratory tract lesions especially in large subglottic cysts and severe subglottic stenosis; however, avoiding it is a priority when possible. A 7-month-old child who had a history of newborn respiratory distress syndrome and extended endotracheal intubation developed respiratory symptoms including stridor. A subglottic cyst was found by bronchoscopy and surginally removed with the tubeless anesthesia technique without tracheostomy. This method was successful even on infants. We report this case with a review of literature.
