Rhinoscleroma is a chronic infectious disease caused by Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. It initially involves the nasal cavity and can occasionally extend to the rest of the upper respiratory tract. We report a case of rhinoscleroma involving both the larynx and the tracheobronchial tree, presenting with recurrent respiratory infection.

Rhinoscleroma is a progressive chronic granulomatous disease of the upper respiratory tract that may extend to the tracheobronchial tract. It is common belief that the pathology is determined by Klebsiella Rhinoscleromatis. In the authors' opinion, the infection with Klebsiella Rhinoscleromatis may not represent the only etiopathogenic factor of the disease.

Introduction: Tracheal rhinoscleroma is an infectious granulomatosis of the tracheobronchial tract caused by a Gram-negative bacillus. Exclusively tracheal involvement has been rarely reported in the literature. The purpose of this study was to report a case of subglottic stenosis secondary to rhinoscleroma.

Some uncommon diseases may involve the central airways focally or diffusely. These include Wegener's granulomatosis, relapsing polychondritis, tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica, amyloidosis, papillomatosis, rhinoscleroma, sarcoidosis and tuberculosis. Related computed tomography (CT) findings essentially include calcifications, luminal stenosis, wall thickening and nodules.

Objective: To evaluate the application of Ni-Ti shape memory alloy stent for treating tracheal stricture, including its indications and complications.
Methods: Forty-three patients clinical data were analyzed, among them, 15 suffered from tumor; 7 trauma; 4 granulation; 1 Wegener's granuloma, 2 rhinoscleroma, 1 without clear diagnosis; 7 were relapsing polychondritis; 1 were respiratory amyloidosis; 4 were tracheobronchial tuberculosis, 5 were tracheobronchomalacia. The stricture degree: Level I: 15 patients, Level II:24 patients, Level III:4 patients.
