We treated ten patients with Wegener's granulomatosis whose clinical picture differed only in the stage of the disease at the time of the first visit. All patients were female with a mean age of 30 years and all presented with a picture of high tracheal obstruction. Three died and six have a permanent tracheostomy. Surgical treatment was unsuccessful; corticosteroids provided only transient improvement but cyclophosphamide induced remission. Removal of the stenosis either by open surgery or endoscopically by laser was not successful in accomplishing decannulation.
