Forty-five patients were included in the study and 15 patients were excluded because they underwent open laryngoplasty as a primary treatment modality for congenital subglottic stenosis. The majority of the patients were males 29 (64%), with 16 (36%) females. The main presentation was stridor and intercostal recession. Thirty-nine (86%) patients had subglottic stenosis due to prolonged intubation; 5 (11%) patients were idiopathic and one patient (3%) had inflammatory reasons. The site of stenosis was isolated SGS in 41 while 4 patients had glottic-subglottic stenosis (GSGS). In terms of the grade of stenosis: 13 patients had grade I; 23 had grade II and 9 had grade III. The character of stenosis was soft except in 5 patients with hard (mature) scar. The number of dilatation procedures ranged from 1 to 6 with a mean of 2. The endoscopic management was considered to be successful when the patient is completely asymptomatic after the follow up period of one year. No major complications were recorded among the patients. Thirty-seven (82.3%) patients had a benign course post endoscopic intervention without complications and 8 (17.7%) underwent a secondary open surgical management due to re-stenosis (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      value &lt; 0.01).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Our study showed that primary endoscopic management was successful in 82.3% of cases of acquired subglottic stenosis including those with high grade stenosis and long segment of more than 12 mm in terms of the craniocaudal length.
