SABİT ÜST HAVA YOLU OBSTRÜKSİYONUNA YOL AÇAN WEGENER GRANÜLOMATOZU

Yıllardır astım tedavisi kullanan ancak tedaviden fayda görmeyen yetişkin bir kadında spirometrik değerlendirmenin inspiratuar ve ekspiratuar eğrilerinde düzleşme not edildi. İleri incelemelerde sabit üst hava yolu tıkanıklığının altında yatan patoloji olarak subglottik stenoz varlığı tespit edildi.

WEGENER GRANULOMATOSIS UNDERLYING FIXED UPPER AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION

In an adult female who has been using asthma treatment for years but has not benefited from the treatment, flattening was noted in the inspiratory and expiratory curves of spirometric evaluation. Subsequent examination revealed the presence of subglottic stenosis as the underlying pathology of fixed upper airway obstruction.
