ABSTRACT
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or Wegener's disease is characterized by a granulomatous vasculitis of the upper and lower airways and kidney. It involves the lower respiratory tract causing subglottic tracheal stenosis, which occurs in approximately 22% of patients. We report two females aged 40 and 52 years, admitted to the hospital with a subglottic tracheal stenosis. Their symptoms and management are reviewed. The frst patient responded to rituximab. The second patient required a tracheostomy.
