Laryngeal stenosis in acromegaly: a possible cause of airway difficulties associated with anesthesia.

S Z Hassan, G J Matz, A M Lawrence, P A Collins.   

Abstract

After difficult intubation in an acromegalic patient was encountered, 7 additional acromegalic patients were studied by measuring the cricoid width and anteroposterior diameter. Cricoid width and anteroposterior diameter were generally found to be narrower than in a group of normal patients. Such narrowing may explain airway problems encountered in acromegalic surgical patients.
