It often is not only a multidisciplinary approach between obstetricians, otolaryngologists (ENT surgeons) and anesthesiologists, but also requires a thorough understanding of possible foreseen complications by the patient as well. Hence, whenever we are presented with a challenging case requiring multidisciplinary approach involving team of physicians from different specialties, it is routine practice to huddle regarding the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative management and care. We present a case of a 37-year-old woman with a known history of idiopathic subglottic stenosis, 16 weeks\u2019 pregnant, G4P1, with a surgical history significant for two previous subglottic dilations in the past and who now presented with an audible stridor and shortness of breath on activity. We highlighted the unique challenges encountered and the corresponding management adopted. This is a case of successful management of symptomatic worsening of subglottic stenosis managed during pregnancy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2020-236466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,24]],"date-time":"2021-03-24T12:50:05Z","timestamp":1616590205000},"page":"e236466","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Successful management of subglottic stenosis in pregnancy"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8988-090X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shenghao","family":"Fang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Mount Sinai West And Morningside Hospitals, Mount Sinai Health System, New York, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Poonam","family":"Pai B H","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Mount Sinai West And Morningside Hospitals, Mount Sinai Health System, New York, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082710213158000_14.3.e236466.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"166","DOI":"10.1213\/XAA.0000000000000098","article-title":"Awake microlaryngoscopy and serial balloon dilation in a third trimester multigravida with subglottic tracheal stenosis: anesthetic implications","volume":"3","author":"Carness","year":"2014","journal-title":"A A Case Rep"},{"key":"2025082710213158000_14.3.e236466.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"973","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100135480","article-title":"Idiopathic tracheal stenoses","volume":"110","author":"Harries","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Laryngol Otol"},{"key":"2025082710213158000_14.3.e236466.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1100","DOI":"10.21037\/jtd.2019.11.43","article-title":"Idiopathic subglottic stenosis: a review","volume":"12","author":"Aravena","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Thorac Dis"},{"key":"2025082710213158000_14.3.e236466.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Tapias LF , Rogan TJ , Wright CD .
