Tracheal stenosis is a rare complication of endotracheal intubation with serious sequelae. Its early manifestations can be mistakenly diagnosed as other pathology such as asthma or pneumonia. We report a case of a young lady with a history of endotracheal intubation, presenting with a history of noisy breathing for two months. Diagnosis of tracheal stenosis was made using flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopy and neck radiograph. She was successfully treated by serial direct laryngoscopy and dilatation.

Hairy polyps are rare developmental malformations. They are benign lesions presented as a pedunculated mass that may arise from the naso-oropharyngeal region. Larger mass can cause upper respiratory obstruction causing respiratory distress or feeding diffi culty, while smaller mass will present as intermittent respiratory distress due to a ball-valve type of obstruction. They are commonly seen in female, with ratio of 6:1 and majority of the cases occur in the infantile period. We are reporting a case of hairy polyp in a female infant that causing intermittent respiratory distress.
