Laryngeal tuberculosis, though declining, remains a diagnostic consideration for laryngeal pathology. A rare subglottic presentation, like stenosis, may be the sole sign of tuberculosis.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Laryngeal tuberculosis incidence has decreased but remains a differential diagnosis for laryngeal pathology.
  • Modern presentations often lack pulmonary signs, mimicking chronic laryngitis or carcinoma.
  • The subglottis is an uncommon site for laryngeal tuberculosis.

Observation:

  • Presents a case of laryngeal tuberculosis manifesting solely as subglottic stenosis.
  • Highlights the diagnostic challenge when pulmonary tuberculosis signs are absent.

Findings:

  • Tissue biopsy and culture are crucial for diagnosing laryngeal tuberculosis.
  • Antituberculous chemotherapy is typically curative.
  • Fibrosis-induced airway insufficiency may require surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of considering tuberculosis in unexplained laryngeal pathology, especially subglottic stenosis.
  • Suggests that subglottic stenosis can be the primary manifestation of tuberculosis.
  • Underscores the need for timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent airway complications.
