A case of idiopathic subglottic tracheal stenosis in a 50-year-old female is presented. A procedure of single-stage resection of the lesion and end-to-end anastomosis was performed with excellent results 1 year after the operation. The clinical, paraclinical, diagnostic, therapeutic and histopathological aspects of this rare pathologic condition are discussed and the literature on this topic is reviewed.
