Sixteen cases of chronic laryngotracheal stenosis were assessed. They underwent complete ENT evaluation including indirect laryngoscopy, direct laryngoscopy, microlaryngoscopy and tracheoscopy. Preoperatively plain X-ray of soft tissue neck and computed tomography (CT) was done. Good correlation was seen between the endoscopic assessment of the stenotic segment and the CT finding.
