To describe the presentation and clinical course of subglottic stenosis (SGS), in particular the development of concurrent airway lesions, in patients with Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (Wegener's) (GPA). ⋯ Cricoarytenoid joint fixation and distal stenosis occur not infrequently in patients with GPA and SGS, resulting in progressive multilevel airway stenosis in about one third of patients. It is critical to identify multilevel stenosis when managing the airways of these patients.
