Abstract

Stridor is usually produced by obstruction in the upper airways. We present a case of stridor referred to the ENT Department in whom an endoscopic examination as far as the lower trachea showed no abnormality. A subsequent bronchoscopy in the Chest Department revealed a tumour in the right main bronchus.
